Voices from the Congress
"The MD Anderson team is thrilled to have contributed to the World Cancer Congress with around 20 members, including trainees presenting abstracts and participating in sessions. We’re excited to be part of the UICC global community. Our booth was a great space to connect with colleagues and hold meetings. Overall, it’s been a fantastic conference.”
"As a leading skincare brand dedicated to improving the lives of those with skin conditions, La Roche-Posay was proud to support the UICC World Cancer Congress in Geneva this September. We are committed to advocating for the vital role of supportive care in enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients. Through our Supportive Care Pavilion and symposiums, we were thrilled to raise awareness about managing side effects such as skin issues, fatigue, nutrition, pain, and mental health. Delivering this important message as part of the World Cancer Congress was especially rewarding, fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals, researchers, and patients to advance cancer care."
"This year was particularly exciting for my colleagues and I on The Lancet Commission on women, power, and cancer. Not only did we have the opportunity to help develop a plenary session but we found that the dynamics of power asymmetries, as they relate to cancer information, decision-making, and economics, were infused in many sessions throughout the Congress. It is also notable that looking at cancer equity through an intersectional lens seems to be emerging as a crosscutting theme throughout these and related UICC events. Well done!"
"The World Cancer Congress (WCC) is an exceptional platform for building connections among key stakeholders in the fight against cancer. We had numerous valuable and positive interactions. At WCC 2022, we were approached by a Mongolian delegation interested in collaborating with their National Cancer Center. At WCC 2024, we reconnected with the delegation and the Head of the Mongolian Cancer Center. As a result, the University Hospitals of Geneva signed a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate knowledge exchange and internships, training doctors in advanced surgical techniques, all thanks to UICC’s support."
"What I really love is the energy. When I come to the Congress I get energised, I hear so much about what everyone is doing in their own countries, I meet old friends and make new friends, so I really appreciate the Congress and I am so happy that we are back."
