The Organising Committee of the 4th PACRI International Annual Meeting is pleased to invite the submission of abstracts for presentation at this premier gathering of African and global leaders in cancer research, clinical practice, policy, and patient advocacy. The meeting, held under the theme “Bridging Cancer Science and Medicine in Africa: Driving Innovation and Equity for Transformative Impact,” will provide a robust platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaborative action.
This landmark event will explore the latest advancements in cancer science and their translation into equitable, patient-centred cancer care across the African continent.
