Relay for life

A day together

Relay for Life is the Norwegian Cancer Society's national event in support of everyone affected by cancer. NITO participates with its own team to highlight the central role of biomedical laboratory technicians in cancer work, from diagnostics to treatment and follow-up of patients. 

The event lasts for 24 hours and symbolizes the continuous battle cancer patients face. 

Program and practical information

There will be entertainment for both adults and children, as well as an atmospheric lighting ceremony where candles are lit to remember and support.

The event is free and open to everyone.

The NITO team has its own tent as a base throughout the event. At the start, a T-shirt and water bottle will be handed out. A joint meal is also planned in the afternoon.

Registration via the link at the top of the page. Please state in the comments field how many participants you are and T-shirt sizes. More information will be sent out to those registered closer to the event date. 

As an organisation, NITO represents biomedical laboratory technicians all over the country, who contribute with critical expertise in the health service. Through our participation, we want to highlight the importance of the subject and at the same time contribute to hope, community and better treatment for the future.
 
Biomedical laboratory technicians contribute to cancer work through:
  • Diagnostics: analyses of blood, tissue and cells
  • Screening and early detection: e.g. HPV testing, blood tests
  • Treatment basis: laboratory data that guide the choice of treatment
  • Follow-up: monitoring of disease progression and treatment effect
