The World Cancer Congress 2026 is scheduled to be held from 24-26 September 2026 in Hong Kong.

World Cancer Congress 2026 will take place from 24-26 September 2026 in Hong Kong. It will be organised in collaboration with the Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society, a long-standing UICC member organisation.
"The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society is honored to be the co-hosting organisation, alongside UICC, for the World Cancer Congress 2026, uniting global leaders to advance cancer control and reduce the global burden through transformative efforts. We are dedicated to collaborating closely with UICC and other stakeholders to ensure the success of this significant event," said Patricia Chu, BBS, Chair of The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society.
UICC organises the World Cancer Congress every two years, taking the global event to UICC member countries around the world. Several thousand participants from more than 130 countries have attended the conferences in the past.
“We are confident that Hong Kong will provide an exceptional setting for the Congress," said Dr. Cary Adams, CEO, Union for International Cancer Control. Its cutting-edge facilities and commitment to health care excellence make it an ideal location. Together with the Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society and all partners involved, we will shape an impactful and inspiring event."
