The summary report of UICC's World Cancer Congress highlights the success of the hybrid event organised for the first time since 2008 in Geneva where UICC is headquartered.
The winners of Best CEO and Best World Cancer Day Campaign had already been announced during UICC’s General Assembly prior to the Congress but received their awards live on stage at the Congress.
The first International Cancer Congress was held in Madrid in 1933. It led to the foundation of the International Union Against Cancer in 1935, renamed the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) in 2010.
