Dear participants,
We are pleased to invite you to the 11th General Assembly of the Asia Pacific Organisation for Cancer Prevention and the APOCP11 Conference on Cancer Prevention, which will be held at Kolkata (INDIA) during December 8-10, 2022. The Conference is hosted by the Cancer Foundation of India, Kolkata (www.cficancer.org).
We are honoured in welcoming you to the Conference, which intends to comprehensively cover every aspect of cancer prevention and control as viewed, researched, and practised in Asian Pacific countries. There will be plenary lectures by invited global leaders followed by Oral presentations and Poster Sessions on a host of topics in contemporary research in cancer prevention. In addition, a Panel Discussion is planned on the WHO’s call for the elimination of cervical cancer, its challenges, and the way forward in Low- and middle-income countries. Furthermore, we are introducing the topics of the role of integrating traditional medicine/practices and immunity in the prevention of cancer as new topics in the event. Besides, there will be an exhibition by the stakeholder companies dealing with vaccines and diagnostic products/devices.
We are looking forward to your participation in this important scientific meeting being held in India for the first time. We wish you a scientifically rewarding time at the Conference and a pleasant stay in Kolkata, the City of Joy.
