"Cancer survival: principles, methods and applications"
|
3-7 April 2006 Course organisers: Professor Michel P Coleman and
Dr Bernard Rachet The 2006 course has now taken place. We saw it as a great success, with 60 students from 25 countries. We were delighted to have had the enthusiastic collaboration of a stellar faculty, who participated in all the sessions of the course, as well as giving their own lectures. Faculty members included Franco Berrino, Nicky Best, Hermann Brenner, Paul Dickman, David Forman, Timo Hakulinen, Guy Guy Hédelin, Paul Lambert, Arduino Verdecchia and Laura Woods. Relative survival was the main approach to analysis, with discussion of the latest methodological developments and results. The course comprised 15 lectures, 3 computer-based practicals, 4 review sessions and 1 session at whihc participants presented their own work and ideas: Nicky Best also metastasised to this session for the Rev Thomas Bayes! Various software packages and analytic tools for cancer survival were used on real data, and a draft text book (Paul Dickman and Timo Hakulinen) on cancer survival was included among the course materials. For those of you who attended the 2006 course, we hope you have downloaded from this site all the course material. We have removed the material from these pages as they have now been updated for our 2007 courses: Cancer
