Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre shared a post on LinkedIn:
“This week, Peter Mac was proud to welcome delegates of World Cancer Leaders’ Summit (WCLS) for an immersive tour of our comprehensive cancer centre, ahead of the Summit’s formal opening.
Hosted by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), the WCLS is an invite-only gathering of global cancer leaders—bringing together executives from major cancer societies, research institutes, hospitals, government agencies and patient organisations across more than 170 countries.
The Summit provides a vital forum to shape coordinated international responses to the world’s most pressing cancer challenges.
As a supporter of this year’s Summit – co-hosted by Cancer Council Victoria, and the VCCC Alliance, Monash Partners Comprehensive Cancer Consortium and the McCabe Centre for Law & Cancer – Peter Mac was honoured to showcase our people, facilities and programs to more than 50 visiting senior leaders.
Delegates toured key areas across the centre, meeting:
- A/Prof Geraldine McDonald – Patient Experience & Wellbeing
- Kylie Shackleton – Clinical Trials
- Prof Michael Hofman – ProsTIC Theranostics and Cancer Imaging
- Prof Ben Hogan – Cancer Research
They were then welcomed by Prof Ricky Johnstone and A/Prof. Andrew Dimech for networking with our leadership and staff.
Strengthening global connections like these is essential to accelerating progress in cancer prevention, treatment and research. We are proud to contribute to this international collaboration—and to represent Australia on the world stage as a leading specialist cancer centre.”
