Get ready for an exciting collaboration that will shape the future of cancer research! The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has partnered with The Lancet, a renowned name in research and publishing, for an extraordinary conference.
This partnership is a game-changer, bringing together two giants in their fields. The Lancet, through its high-impact journals - The Lancet Oncology, The Lancet Public Health, and eClinicalMedicine - will be the official Media Partner for the IARC@60: Cancer Research into Action conference. But here's where it gets even more intriguing: this collaboration is a testament to the importance and impact of this event, marking the 60th anniversary of IARC.
The conference, set to take place in Lyon, France, from May 19th to 21st, 2026, will focus on three critical themes: (1) Unlocking new frontiers in cancer prevention, (2) Turning research into actionable public health strategies, and (3) Bridging the gap between science and policy for global transformation. It's an ambitious agenda, and The Lancet's involvement will undoubtedly enhance the reach and influence of this gathering.
A special issue of eClinicalMedicine, leading up to the conference, will feature a curated selection of abstracts, handpicked by Lancet editors. And this is the part most people miss: the conference will also include a dedicated Lancet session, offering an exclusive insight into the latest developments in cancer research.
The deadline for abstract submissions is fast approaching - January 12th, 2026. So, if you're a researcher with groundbreaking ideas, this is your chance to be part of history. Submit your abstract and be a part of this transformative event. Visit the dedicated conference website for more details and to stay updated on this exciting initiative.
