IARC marks World Cancer Research Day 2021

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is marking World Cancer Research Day, which occurs on 24 September every year, by publishing a collection of visuals to highlight some of the Agency’s recent achievements in cancer research, as well as the researchers behind these achievements.

The theme of this year’s World Cancer Research Day is “Cancer Research Works: Driving Progress Together”. The collection of visuals from IARC focuses on research findings and projects that have strong potential to help reduce cancer incidence or cancer mortality.

Ahead of World Cancer Research Day, a special online event, “Cancer research works: improving cancer patients’ survival worldwide”, will be held on Wednesday 22 September at 16:00 CET. In this event, international experts in the field of oncology and cancer research will share experiences about the impact of cancer research on the survival and quality of life of patients with cancer.

World Cancer Research Day is an international initiative led by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), coordinated by 10 organizations, including IARC, and supported by 105 entities and more than 600 000 people.
