Optimising the management of older women with breast cancer

Thursday, 21st January 

Part of the Science Public Lecture Series

Professor Kwok-Leung Cheung

Professor of Breast Surgery and Medical Education

The Nottingham Prognostic Index developed in the 1970s-1980s has been widely used internationally for the management of breast cancer in women under the age of 70 years. Although the majority of breast cancer cases are found in the older population which is rapidly expanding, older women tend to be under-represented in research studies. Professor Cheung saw the gap and started developing a dedicated research programme in Nottingham. In this lecture, he will share his passion and research journey on how to optimise the management of older women with breast cancer.

This event has now concluded, but you can watch a full recording of the lecture online here.
