CANCER RESEARCH IN ACTION CONFERENCE 2008

20,21 & 22 August 2008
Emperors Palace
 

It gives me great pleasure to officially announce the Cancer Research in Action Conference which will be CANSA’s most comprehensive cancer research conference ever held in Southern Africa.

I encourage anyone interested in cancer research to please attend as much of the conference as you can. You will not be  disappointed and you will leave a much wiser and motivated person in terms of the fight against cancer.

Cancer research is very important to CANSA’s mission, which is to reduce the impact of cancer by promoting health in all communities within South Africa, through advocacy and  the sustainable facilitation of research, prevention, early detection and care.

I am proud that CANSA has a long history of raising funds for cancer research which translates into over R4.5 million per year to cancer research. However, we also need to better inform the research community and the public about the kinds of research being conducted and how these studies are progressing. It is also important to foster debate, raise the profile of researchers and motivate young researchers who are so needed in this beautiful country of ours.

That is why this conference is not to be missed.

I look forward to seeing you in August at Emperor’s Palace!

Very best wishes

Sue Janse van Rensburg

National Executive Director
