What the programme offers
This unique Congress will review in broad terms the very latest knowledge about cancer causes, prevention, treatment and care. It will examine how to optimize plans to control cancer now and influence a nation’s or a region’s cancer agenda as well as assess the role of cancer organizations in implementing the cancer agenda. This event will be a valuable opportunity to discuss and review knowledge and skills and to reassess policies and programmes with other experts from around the world. The different sessions will be an opportunity to review the progress made, go in depth on current issues and hear from the experts on future challenges and opportunities.
The scientific programme will be developed along the following tracks:

Programme outline of plenary sessions
Thursday, 19 August 2010: Knowledge base for system change

Saturday, 21 August 2010: Actions for system change
Encouraging the adoption of enabling frameworks and ensuring they are used to drive change requires strategic action. Speakers will draw on their experiences in driving the global fight against cancer and challenge delegates to take further effective actions to achieve system change.
- Community mobilization strategies for the 21st century (John Seffrin and Doug Ulman)
- Ending the pain - what has to be done for 5 million sufferers (Kathy Foley and James F. Cleary)
