VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 19, 2024 /CNW/ -- USA News Group – In the oncology world, there's been plenty to celebrate recently, with cancer deaths falling by 33% in the last 30 years. However, there's still a lot of work to do in the war on cancer, with the 2024 World Cancer Congress in Geneva highlighting several issues, such as artificial intelligence (AI), conflict zones and crisis care taking center stage at the gathering.
