“As the President of the Asian Pacific Organization for Cancer Prevention (APOCP), I am honored to invite you to celebrate our 25th anniversary at the 13th APOCP General Assembly and Scientific Conference, from September 28–30, 2026 in Kuching, the stunning gateway to Borneo.
Our mission is clear: Cancer Intelligence for Action: Data, Equity, and the Next 25 Years of Cancer Control in Asia-Pacific. This is more than a meeting…. It is where we will collectively design the future of cancer care.
Scientific Program Highlights
We have curated a world-class program featuring global icons like Maria Jocelyn Kara Magsanoc-Alikpala and Richard Sullivan. This is an interactive roadmap for change:
- The Leaders’ Plenary: A vital three-part series where we will decide what we must start, stop, and scale to transform cancer control by 2035.
- Thematic Deep Dives: From the “Human Experience of Cancer” to “Law, Policy, and Reform,” we are tackling the drivers of health head-on.
- Spotlight Sessions: High-impact oral sessions featuring the most provocative and ground-breaking research from across the globe.
A Space for Every Voice
As a mission this bold requires everyone, we are committed to ensuring that APOCP 2026 is our most inclusive space yet:
- Students and Early Career Researchers: You are the future. We offer specialized rates, prestigious awards, and prize money to support your journey. Seize the chance for a Plenary Spotlight and take advantage of full paper publication opportunities.
- NGOs and Patient Advocates: Your lived experience is the intelligence we need. In the spirit of “Nothing About Us Without Us,” our specialized NGO rates ensure you are leading the decision-making process.
- Industry Partners: I invite you to join the conversation. Our Industry-Supported Breakfast and Tea Dialogues are the ideal venue to align technology and policy to drive systemic change.
- Inclusive Access: We have implemented registration tiered by World Bank income levels to ensure that every colleague, regardless of geography, can contribute to this global dialogue.
Mark your calendar and watch this space! Our official website is launching soon at apocp.info.
