What is Cancer Week?
Cancer Week Ireland was devised and set up by the Irish Cancer Society and Trinity College Dublin in 2014 as a way to open up the national conversation about cancer. While Cancer Week has changed over the years it is still an important way for the public to engage in conversation about cancer.
How can I get involved?
Be part of the conversation this September by hosting a virtual event as part of cancer week. Your virtual event can be anything related to cancer – from prevention and early detection to treatment and survivorship.
