**NEW FOR 2025**
For the last five years, this conference has been a trusted source of knowledge, connection, and empowerment for the breast cancer community. This year, for the first time ever, we’re expanding our reach to include all cancer types—because every person facing cancer deserves the same access to resources, support, and hope. Join survivors, patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and advocates as we come together to share the latest information, discover innovative solutions, and build a stronger, more inclusive community. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, or navigating life after cancer, you’ll find inspiration and practical tools to help you on your journey.

Join Oregon Cancer Foundation for Topics in Cancer: Let’s Talk About It, our region's premier cancer support and education conference. This inspiring one-day event is designed for anyone impacted by cancer—patients at any stage, survivors, those living with chronic or advanced disease, caregivers, family members, healthcare providers, and community supporters.

Attendees will explore the latest advancements in cancer care, discover practical tools for navigating treatment, living well, and survivorship, and engage in open conversations about the challenges and questions that often go unspoken.


Your registration includes:

  • A full day of expert-led breakout sessions covering treatment options, emotional health, nutrition, survivorship, and more
  • Panel discussions featuring trusted professionals and survivors sharing real-world experiences and insights
  • A complimentary lunch and opportunities to connect with others who understand the cancer journey
  • Access to our exhibit hall featuring local and regional vendors, nonprofit organizations, and healthcare providers offering valuable resources and support

Whether you are newly diagnosed, in ongoing treatment, living with metastatic or chronic cancer, caring for a loved one, or working in the field, Topics in Cancer is your chance to learn, connect, and find hope—all in one welcoming space. This conference is for anyone touched by cancer, wherever you are on your journey.


Together, let’s talk about what matters most—and discover strength in each other.
