がん研セミナーのお知らせ

1966年に吉田富三先生が主催して行われたUICC国際癌会議（東京）は、日本のがん研究の大きな跳躍台となりました。その50周年を記念して10月22日に横浜で国際シンポジウムが持たれますが、UICCから参加する二人の演者に、がん研でも講演して頂くことになりました。多数のご出席を期待します。

演題 1：Global Cancer Control Issues - Challenges and Opportunities

演者：Dr. Mary K. Gospodarowicz

Immediate-past president of UICC

Department of Radiation Oncology, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, University of Toronto

抄録：Cancer presents an ever growing health problem in the world. Two thirds of all cancer deaths occur in low and middle income countries (LMIC).  Cancer requires a coordinated well planned effort that optimizes prevention, early detection, treatment, supportive care, and survivorship programs. Many developing countries are ill prepared to address the needs of cancer patients.  International partnerships, development assistance and increased research efforts are needed to accelerate progress in global cancer control.

演題2：The World Cancer Declaration as the global goal of UICC activities & reducing the inequalities in childhood cancer

演者：Dr. M. Tezer Kutluk

President of UICC

Department of Pediatric Oncology, Hacettepe University Cancer Institute and Oncology Hospital, Ankara-Turkey

抄録：Cancer became the number one cause of the mortality since 2011 at global level. The World Cancer Declaration calls upon Government leaders and health policy makers to significantly reduce the global cancer burden, promote greater equity, and integrate cancer control into the world health and development agenda.

New estimate by IARC show that the global occurrence of childhood cancer is 215,000 per year and childhood cancer survival rates differ greatly between high-income (80%) and low-income settings (10-20%). It is critical to implement the actions at national and regional level to reduce the inequalities and save millions of lives
