The conference was organized jointly by Cancer Research UK, the United States National Cancer Institute, and the American Cancer Society. It is being held in Boston, USA, on 25–27 June 2024.
The session focused on highlighting the importance of preventive interventions to reduce inequities, such as socioeconomic, behavioural, and biological factors, in cancer incidence and to avoid exacerbation of these inequities.
