World Cancer Research Day 2023

IARC Monographs Meeting 134 World Cancer Research Day 2023 Home

To mark World Cancer Research Day, on 24 September, and promote this year’s theme of “integrating diversity, advancing research, and achieving equity”, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is highlighting some of the research projects that IARC scientists are conducting to ensure that diverse populations are represented and included in cancer research, so that underrepresented groups can benefit from advances in prevention and early detection.

IARC’s objective is to promote international collaboration in cancer research, and the Agency has a particular interest in conducting research in low- and middle-income countries through partnerships and collaborations with researchers in these regions. A core part of IARC’s mission is capacity-building of cancer researchers worldwide. The Agency is also committed to studying approaches for the early detection of cancer and to evaluating prevention strategies.

Some examples of the Agency’s work towards these goals are presented here, with overviews of research projects taking place in low- and middle-income countries that aim to improve early detection of cancer, identify cancer causes and risk factors, expand access to diagnostic interventions, and investigate the potential causes of variations between countries in the incidence of breast cancer.
