    • The continuing importance of IARC’s international remit in cancer research

    On IARC’s 60th birthday this session reflects on the continuing importance of the Agency’s international remit in cancer research, driven by its founding principle that the discovery of carcinogenic agents is relevant to all humans globally. The session will illustrate the continued and evolving stimulus for international cancer research, through three themes: (i) trust and independence especially amid vested interests and misinformation; (ii) equity and efficiency by prioritizing research in underserved and understudied areas; and (iii) a commitment to context-relevant research through strong local collaborations and capacity building.  These themes will be illustrated on diverse cancer topics and on LMIC-focussed research.
