“BGIICC,What Started Between Friends Now UnitesGlobal_Oncology!
Began 18 years ago as a nice conversation then an unusual collective effort among friends, driven by one shared purpose—to improve cancer care—has grown into The Breast Gynecological & Immunooncology International Cancer Conference-BGICC, a platform that today hashtag#unites disciplines, institutions, and global leaders.
BGIICC was never meant to be just a conference it was built to bring people
together, break the barriers, and turn collaboration into action.
Over time, that spirit of unity transformed into trusted space where science meets realworld_practice, a bridge between global evidence and regional needs and a meeting point for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and partners.
This year, BGIICC evolves from a conference into a catalyst for change. By aligning global scientific leadership with economic and policy dialogue. With leading organizations such as World Health Organization, IARC – International Agency for Research on Cancer / World Health Organization, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO),International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, AORTIC- Africa, and ESMO – European Society for Medical Oncology contributing, the focus extends from breakthrough science to shaping_guidelines, strengthening_systems, and investing in the next generation of oncology leaders.
