World Indigenous Cancer Conference (12-14 April 2016)

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Menzies School of Health Research are launching the inaugural World Indigenous Cancer Conference. The 3-day event, which starts today in Brisbane, Australia, brings together researchers and public health practitioners as well as advocacy groups and indigenous community groups. Globally, cancer in indigenous populations has largely been overlooked.
