In keeping with IARC’s mission over the past five decades, this anniversary conference will feature presentations on research into the global occurrence, etiology, and prevention of cancer as well as the implementation of prevention and early detection.

The multidisciplinary conference will bridge cancer research through to cancer control and policy, providing comprehensive state-of-the-art summaries from keynote speakers as well as a look forward at future research priorities.
