World Cancer Day 2023

The International Cancer Prevention Institute celebrated World Cancer Day on February 4^th 2023 with a successful public event held at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. This event was made possible thanks to the support of Debiopharm and DiasporaTV.

Cancer survivors, patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers and advocates came together to raise awareness about cancer and the importance of early detection and prevention. The event featured a range of activities, including informative sessions by clinicians, policy makers and researchers. At the end, a lively panel discussion took place with healthcare professionals, thanks to the interaction with the audience. Attendees also had the opportunity to connect with local cancer support groups, researchers and clinicians during the coffee break.

“We are thrilled to have hosted such a successful event for World Cancer Day,” said the founders of the International Cancer Prevention Institute, Prof. Dr. Gian-Paolo Dotto and Prof. Dr. Cathrin Brisken. “It was inspiring to see so many people come together to raise awareness about cancer prevention and to share their experiences and knowledge. We hope that this event will encourage more people to take action and we are looking forward to holding this event on a yearly basis.”
