We will launch 2 significant reports from the Global Cancer Update Programme (CUP Global) on breast and colorectal cancer survival, along with our new Alcohol and Cancer Risk policy position. We will also present several abstracts and symposia.
Dr Panagiota Mitrou, Director of Research, Policy and Innovation, said:
We are very much looking forward to participating in the World Cancer Congress and delighted that so many aspects of WCRF’s work are included in the programme. This recognition highlights the importance of cancer prevention and survivorship in the global cancer agenda and will help us continue to lead the way in these areas.
Delegates will discover our work across the WCRF network including our latest research and grant opportunities designed to support innovation in cancer prevention and survivorship.
