“Wrapping up an unforgettable final day at the World Cancer Congress.
At today’s closing ceremony, Ulrika Årehed Kågström officially took over as the President of UICC. As a Swedish foundation, we are incredibly proud to see such strong leadership emerging from Sweden within Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Congratulations, Ulrika!
It was also wonderful to see my dear friend Heather White here. Her tireless advocacy with the U.S. government has been remarkable. Thank you for your ongoing support and everything you do to advance cancer care in underserved countries.
I was also honored to participate in the UICC breast cancer workshop and collaborate with experts from around the world. The workshop focused on the third pillar: treatment, and I couldn’t agree more with the emphasis on ensuring that screening is followed by access to treatment. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, and palliative care, delivered through a multidisciplinary approach, are essential. We must ensure that no woman is left behind, and this vision aligns perfectly with our Elekta Foundation belief.
It has been a truly inspiring few days, a testament to global unity in the fight against cancer. I look forward to continuing these efforts with all of you.”
