 THE DATE\n \n19 - 21 October\, 2026\n \nin Heidelberg and via live strea
 m\n \nThe International Conference on Cancer Prevention is a flagship eve
 nt series hosted by the National Cancer Prevention Center (NCPC)\, a stra
 tegic partnership between the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and Ger
 man Cancer Aid. This initiative is in line with the German National Decade
  against Cancer and serves as a concerted effort to highlight the importan
 ce of cancer prevention research.\n \nScope of the conference\nCancer rep
 resents a major disease burden for our society. By 2040\, the number of ne
 w cancer cases worldwide is expected to almost double to about 30 million 
 per year. With the primary prevention measures already known\, 40% of all 
 new cancer cases could be prevented today. By implementing both\, preventi
 on and early detection\, mortality could be reduced by up to 60%. However\
 , the enormous potential of cancer prevention is not being exploited to th
 e necessary extent.\nCancer prevention research and its implementation is 
 a global task for the future. With our conference series on cancer prevent
 ion\, we aim to increase the visibility of cancer prevention research at a
 ll levels\, from basic research to scientific implementation\, and to rais
 e awareness of the importance of cancer prevention research.\nThis year we
  are once again making every effort to put together a comprehensive and ex
 citing program that reflects current trends in cancer prevention research 
 and its implementation. We are looking forward to bringing together scient
 ists in the field of cancer prevention research from around the world to p
 ool research expertise and promote scientific exchange.\n \nStay informed
