Tracking Inherited Cancer Risk: How the NIPR Enables Early Detection and Improved Care

28 Jan 2026
Main Stage
  • Understanding rare inherited cancer risks: challenges in clinical management due to limited or inconsistent evidence. 

  • Closing the gap between gene discovery and patient care: collaborative guideline development with national and international experts. 

  • The National Inherited Cancer Predisposition Register (NIPR): its purpose, scope, and how it tracks patients at risk. 

  • Impact on preventative screening and clinical care: linking the register to national datasets to study incidence, survival, and outcomes of early detection or risk-reducing interventions. 

  • Future directions: expanding research, improving personalised patient management, and supporting trials for high-risk individuals.
