Dr Mo Keshtgar, UCL researcher and Royal Free consultant.
Do you want to know more about UCL's pioneering research into new diagnostic methods and treatment options for breast cancer?. Do you want to see the latest cutting edge technologies used in breast cancer treatment at the Royal Free? If so, come along to our breast cancer public engagement event on Monday 29 October at 6.30-8pm in the Sir William Wells Atrium at the Royal Free Hospital. The event, organised to mark breast cancer awareness month, will showcase some of the latest treatments and technologies being pioneered at UCL in partnership with the Royal Free. This includes intra-operative radiotherapy (a treatment which means patients receive a single shot of radiotherapy during breast cancer surgery rather than having up to 30 hospital visits for post-operative radiotherapy), a new way of diagnosing and treating breast cancer with a flash of light, and minimally-invasive approaches to sentinel node surgery. 6:30pm-8pm, Monday 29th October 2012 at the Sir William Wells Atrium, Ground floor, Royal Free Hospital, Pond Street, Hampstead, NW3 2QG. Visitors will also have a chance to learn about the role of diet in breast cancer and discover more about electrochemotherapy, a treatment which uses electrical pulses to stimulate cancer cells making them porous and more receptive to cancer-killing drugs. There will also be an opportunity to learn about a new project which aims to improve communication with breast cancer patients.
