Hesham ElGhazaly, Elected President of the Executive Board at Egyptian Cancer Society, Professor of Clinical Oncology at Ain Shams University, and the Founder and CEO of Alfa Cure Oncology Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I’m pleased to share my opening remarks celebrating 60 years IARC-six decades of science-driven commitment to ensuring cancer does not have the final word.
IARC’s mission continues to shape how the world understands, prevents, and controls cancer-by translating science into policy and action, and by working with countries as true partners. Its strong commitment to inclusivity has made global collaboration both meaningful and impactful.
Through initiatives such as cancer registries, CanScreen5, and the IARC Monographs Programme, evidence has been transformed into measurable outcomes. Our collaboration with IARC in Egypt’s Presidential Women’s Health PIWH Initiative stands as clear proof that screening, earlier diagnosis save lives and global targets can be reach through strategic approaches and even exceeded.
I am deeply grateful to Dr Elisabete Weiderpass and all IARC – International Agency for Research on Cancer/World Health Organization leaders for their vision and dedication. Together, we stay one step ahead of cancer. ”
