Welcome to the 16th Global Annual Oncologists Meeting

Probably for many of you this is the first time you come to this stimulating environment. This modern city of Dubai is certainly the right place to envision the future with optimism the attitude we should have trying to think about new approaches to the cure of cancers.

Some people believe we are at a momentum in cancer research because politicians yet again decided to push for what is called a “moon shot” type of approach. We heard about this before. Anyway with or without moon shot huge progresses have been made; 90% of children with leukemia are now cured and cures are obtained in other type of cancers. I am impressed with the variety of new attempts being done in the treatment of cancers. Some work in some patients but not in others showing the heterogeneity of neoplastic disease.

But politicians do not realize the gigantic task facing us because we are not dealing with one disease, but several diseases. There are apparently simple concepts that have not been solved. Many years after the discovery of oncogenes there is still no agreement about their mechanism of action. Another old problem is the relationship between cancer and aging. Many people still claim that aging is a factor favoring the emergence of cancers although there is no evidence whatsoever supporting the association.

Breast cancers have become increasingly more common in younger women, maybe in part due to the delay in childbirth. I remember about 20 years ago an eminent scientist mentioning this fact and telling: what are you doing there seating and waiting for the answer? We are still waiting for the answer. In France the number of women with breast cancers has significantly increased in the group 30-49 years old nobody knows why. The increase is such that some people speak about an epidemic. On the other hand it has decreased in the 50-79 years group.

No significant progress is made about prevention, sometimes because of economic interests. This is a field where with decisive action a significant progress could be made; 40% of cancers could be avoided with a change of the way of life, inter alia tobacco, alcohol, nutrition, physical activity, and environmental pollution. So on one hand treatment has improved for some cancers but the incidence has increased for other cancers. Making a long story short, you probably will not go home from this meeting with any answers, but if you go home with many questions, it will have been worthwhile coming over.
