AORTIC – Africa shared on LinkedIn:
“Advancing Cancer Prevention, Research and Equitable Cancer Care Across Africa.
On the sidelines of the IARC 60th Anniversary conference (May 2026), IARC and AORTIC signed a memorandum of understanding, marking a step change in the relationship.
Advancing cancer control in Africa requires strong and sustained partnerships, built on shared expertise and the common purpose of accelerating the implementation of impactful, evidence-based cancer solutions. This partnership will inspire through sharing knowledge, building stronger collaborations and increasing capacity in African countries to reduce the national cancer burden, and improve outcomes for communities across the continent.
Objectives:
- Develop stronger ties between leaders of both organisations.
- Establish the IARC-AORTIC webinar series.
- Building on the IARC-AORTIC roundtable at AORTIC 2025, explore closer collaborations in support of young African researchers.
- Explore development of the African Code Against Cancer.
See interview between AORTIC President, Prof. Cesaltina Lorenzoni and Dr. Elisabete Weiderpass, Director of IARC.”
