Prof Nazik Hammad, awarded by ecancer with the Mcvie Veronesi Award at ASCO 2026, addresses the critical issue of cancer care for conflict-affected populations, including displaced persons and immigrants.

Her work highlights the severe neglect of cancer in African conflict zones, where a large portion of the global displaced population resides. 

Prof Hammad explores the challenges of access, the impact of climate injustice, and the need for international solidarity and innovative solutions to ensure equitable cancer treatment for all.
