Call for Abstracts: 4th PACRI INTERNATIONAL Annual Meeting

The 4th PACRI International Annual Meeting is set to bring together African and global experts in cancer research, clinical practice, policy, and advocacy to explore how we can drive transformative change in cancer care across Africa. This conference will provide a dynamic platform for multi-disciplinary discussions on bridging the gap between cutting-edge cancer science and its real-world applications. Ensuring that innovation, equity, and patient-centered care shape the future of cancer treatment and prevention in Africa will be at the core of this event.

With an emphasis on advancing cancer research and care, the conference will cover the latest breakthroughs in precision oncology, genomics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the critical role of the exposome in cancer risk, particularly in African populations. Through detailed discussions, delegates will examine how these innovations can be integrated into healthcare systems across Africa, providing an opportunity for researchers and clinicians to address the urgent need for more personalized treatments and early detection methods that consider the unique genetic, environmental, and socio-economic factors that contribute to cancer in the region.

A key focus will also be placed on the intersection between cancer and infectious diseases, recognizing the significant burden of co-morbid infections, such as HIV, HPV, and hepatitis, in Africa and their role in cancer development and progression. This will include discussions on how integrated approaches can enhance cancer prevention and treatment strategies. Additionally, the role of cultural practices in shaping cancer care and patient outcomes will be examined, ensuring that research and clinical interventions are aligned with the cultural contexts and traditions of African communities.
