IARC welcomes visitors from Inje University, Republic of Korea

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is pleased to welcome 21 students and faculty from the Global Health Research Center of Inje University, Republic of Korea.

The students will meet with Dr Christopher Wild, Director of IARC, and Dr Eduardo Seleiro, who will provide an overview of the Agency′s research activities and present the latest cancer trends.

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the Republic of Korea, which has been an IARC Participating State since 2006. Seven postdoctoral researchers from the country have been trained at the Agency so far.

The Agency also has a number of partnerships with the Republic of Korea and is currently setting up a large study on gastric cancer prevention integrated into the national gastric cancer screening programme.

In early March, Dr Wild will visit the Republic of Korea to attend the 5^th meeting of the Asian National Cancer Centres Alliance (ANCCA).
