The EACR Virtual Conference on Cancer and Ageing converges at the intersection of two critical fronts in healthcare. Ageing populations worldwide face an increased risk of cancer, making the exploration of this relationship pivotal for healthcare advancements.

This conference aims to illuminate the intricate dynamics between ageing and cancer, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers and clinicians. By understanding the biological dimensions of cancer in ageing populations, we aspire to drive innovations in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Ultimately, the conference seeks to catalyse collaborative efforts to confront the unique challenges posed by cancer in an ageing world, with the overarching goal of improving the quality of life and outcomes for elderly cancer patients.
