Attending the World Cancer Congress offers the media a unique opportunity to interact with national and international cancer professionals and learn about evidence-based strategies for cancer prevention and control and the latest scientific findings. The Congress will address hot topics, such as cervical cancer vaccination and tobacco control, and deal with the political and economic aspects of the disease and how these are handled in resource-rich and resource-constrained countries.
