IARC welcomes The Lancet as a partner for the IARC@60: Cancer Research into Action conference

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) welcomes The Lancet as the official Media Partner for the IARC@60: Cancer Research into Action conference, the crowning event of the IARC 60th anniversary celebrations. This collaboration between IARC and The Lancet, two of the most important names in research and publishing, indicates the scope, quality, and impact expected of this unique occasion.

The Lancet will act as Media Partner through three of its high-impact journals: The Lancet Oncology, The Lancet Public Health, and eClinicalMedicine. A special issue of eClinicalMedicine to be published in the lead-up to the conference will highlight a special selection of abstracts, chosen by Lancet editors, and the conference will include a special Lancet session.

The IARC@60: Cancer Research into Action conference will take place on 19–21 May 2026 in Lyon, France. The three main scientific themes are (1) Discovery and innovation for cancer prevention, (2) Translating research into public health action, and (3) Science–policy interface for global change. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 12 January 2026. More information is available on the dedicated conference website.
