Scientists and other personnel at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) are marking European Week Against Cancer 2025 by highlighting different aspects of the Agency’s work in cancer prevention research on IARC’s website and social media channels throughout the week.
European Week Against Cancer takes place every year, beginning on 25 May and ending on World No Tobacco Day, 31 May. Each day of the week offers an occasion to highlight a different aspect of the cancer continuum: primary prevention on day 1, early detection on day 2, access to treatment on day 3, digital health and care on day 4, research on day 5, patients and survivors on day 6, and World No Tobacco Day on day 7.
IARC’s research focuses largely on primary prevention and early detection. IARC also leads projects examining access to treatment and the impact of e-health solutions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Other IARC research teams study survival of patients with cancer and cancer recurrence in survivors.
At the European level, IARC has recently launched factsheets on socioeconomic inequalities in cancer mortality, hosted meetings to develop recommendations for cervical cancer screening programmes, and published guidance on the implementation of adult population-based Helicobacter pylori screen-and-treat strategies for the prevention of gastric cancer.
