17th to 19th September 2024, Geneva, Switzerland.
The World Cancer Congress aims to strengthen the participants’ actions and impact on national, regional and international scales through a multidisciplinary programme featuring the latest successful cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care interventions.
The World Cancer Congress is an initiative of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) – which was recognised with Membership Engagement Award – and supports the organisation’s mission: ‘to both unite and support the cancer community in its efforts to reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity and ensure that cancer control remains a priority on the global health and development agenda’.
The first International Cancer Congress was held in Madrid in 1933. It led to the foundation of the International Union Against Cancer in 1935, renamed the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) in 2010.
The Congress now takes place every two years in a different country and is normally hosted by a local UICC full member. The upcoming edition will however be hosted in UICC’s hometown, Geneva in Switzerland, on 17-19 September 2024, at the International Conference Centre Geneva (CICG). UICC member organisations from across Europe will be joining in as co-hosts.
