Casidec study

📣 We’re just days away from the International Conference on Cancer in Geographically Isolated Populations (ICCGIP 2026)!

Join us on March 20th, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM AST for a powerful global conversation on the theme: “Medical Travel for Cancer Care: Navigating Access, Quality & Equity.”

This hybrid event will be broadcasted live from the Chancellor Charles Modica Campus at St. George's University in Grenada. It will open with a formal ceremony featuring distinguished regional delegates and a representative, underscoring the growing commitment to equity in cancer care across small island developing states (SIDS).

Throughout the day, participants will hear from experts across the Caribbean, the Pacific, Europe, and Africa as they discuss cancer care delivery in isolated settings, innovations in diagnostics and treatment, and the socio‑structural realities shaping patient journeys across borders.

🔎 CaSIDEC study highlight:
We’re proud to share that the programme includes a presentation reflecting on lessons learned from the planning and development of the CaSIDEC study, offering insights into stakeholder engagement and the realities of conducting multi-country research across the OECS.

Whether you’re a researcher, clinician, public health professional, survivor advocate, policymaker, or student this conference is for you. It aims to federate a community of practice committed to advancing cancer control and strengthening health systems in geographically isolated populations around the world.
