Did you know?
#ChildhoodCancer is rare but can happen.
And the good news is:
most children with cancer can survive with treatments that already exist today. Generic medicines, surgery, and radiotherapy can offer many children a real chance of recovery.
When childhood cancer services are within reach, more than 80% of children can be cured.

A strong IARC delegation presented @UICC’s #WCC2026, where we met Prof Dorothy Keefe, Chair of our Governing Council, & delegates from our brand-new Participating State, Indonesia🇮🇩, including Dr Eniarti, Director of @RSKDharmais
A warm welcome once again to Indonesia - IARC is proud to count you among our Participating States!
We look forward to working closely with Indonesian researchers & authorities to generate evidence that can strengthen cancer prevention & early detection in Indonesia, & globally.

As Patron of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) I was honoured to join HM Queen lLetizia of Spain in Brussels to mark the 10th anniversary of World Cancer Research Day at the headquarters of the EORTC.
The occasion brought together leading voices from cancer research, clinical care, patient advocacy and policy to reflect on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of cancer research.
In my keynote remarks, I stressed that cancer research is not a luxury — it is not something we fund only when economies are doing well. It is not something separate from cancer. Research is cancer care.
Sustained investment in research, stronger international collaboration and equitable access to advances in prevention, treatment and care are essential if we are to change the trajectory of cancer for patients everywhere.
بصفتي راعيةً للمنظمة الأوروبية لأبحاث وعلاج السرطان (EORTC)، تشرفتُ بالانضمام إلى جلالة الملكة ليتيسيا ملكة إسبانيا في بروكسل، لإحياء الذكرى العاشرة لليوم العالمي لأبحاث السرطان، وذلك في مقر المنظمة الأوروبية لأبحاث وعلاج السرطان.
وقد جمعت هذه المناسبة نخبة من أبرز الأصوات والخبرات في مجالات أبحاث السرطان، والرعاية السريرية، ودعم المرضى، والسياسات الصحية، للتباحث حول التحديات والفرص التي ترسم مستقبل أبحاث السرطان.
وفي كلمتي الرئيسية، أكدتُ أن أبحاث السرطان ليست ترفاً، وليست أمراً نخصص له التمويل فقط عندما تكون الاقتصادات في وضع جيد. فهي ليست منفصلة عن السرطان؛ فأبحاث السرطان هي جزء أساسي من رعاية مرضى السرطان.
إن الاستثمار المستدام في الأبحاث، وتعزيز التعاون الدولي، وضمان الوصول العادل إلى التطورات في مجالات الوقاية والعلاج والرعاية، أمور أساسية إذا أردنا .أن نغيّر مسار السرطان ونحقق نتائج أفضل للمرضى في كل مكان
