IF 18 - Oncologic imaging at the nexus of global health
March 1, 09:30 - 11:00 CET
The impending surge in cancer cases has the most significant impact on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This session will explore how radiologists can enhance early detection and treatment in resource-limited settings, discuss strategies for supporting LMICs in managing the rising cancer burden, and highlight lessons that developed countries can learn from effective practices in LMICs. Equip yourself with the knowledge to tackle the global cancer crisis through collaborative and innovative approaches.
