Due to uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the deadlines for submitting abstracts to the World Cancer Congress and for early bird registration have been extended. The new deadlines are 8 May for abstracts and 29 May for registrations.

Effective Monday 16 March, the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) will adopt a remote working model in response to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The 2020 World Cancer Congress (WCC) is your opportunity to engage and get inspired, boost your career and be exposed to the latest developments in cancer control while connecting with health experts from all over the world.  

The Congress preliminary programme is now available online.

UICC is launching its call for applications for the UICC Members Awards. UICC members submitting an abstract or a case study for the Patient Group Pavilion are eligible for an award nomination.
