The World Cancer Congress 2010 will focus on primary prevention, screening and early detection, treatment and management, supportive care, end of life, as well as on how programmes, infrastructures and resources are integrated into existing delivery systems. Best practices and the challeng es of maximizing effectiveness, efficiency and outreach in different resource settings will be an important aspect of dialogue and debate.

It is highly significant that China win the bid to host this important academic event with international influence. It will play an promotional role in further impoving the exchange and cooperation between China and international medical peers, raising china’s status and influence on internatinal cancer prevention and enhancing the overall level of china’s modern medicine. As the member of UICC，Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital will spare no efforts in academy, staff and organization to asssit CACA and CMA and make our due contribution to hosting a successful academic event with international influence in China.
