2012 World Cancer Congress
The 2012 World Cancer Congress will be co-hosted by three UICC member organisations, forming the Host Committee: Fondation québécoise du cancer, McGill University and Université de Montréal.
Each Congress centres around a theme that is not only chosen to build on the previous event but also explore issues that are timely and current.
The theme for the 2012 World Cancer Congress is ‘Connecting for Global Impact’, highlighting the need for continued support and momentum in translating the benefits of knowledge gained through research and practice to those living with and affected by cancer.
UICC believes this can be achieved through global actions, which will result in connections and partnerships made through the international cancer control community at the event. To increase networking, as well as learning and interactivity, the 2012 meeting will focus on providing education and training opportunities throughout the programme including specially tailored meetings, forums, workshops and sessions.
