The Tanzania Oncology Society is proud to host the 2nd Tanzania International Cancer Conference – TICC2023. We invite you all to attend this momentous event on the 2nd and 3rd of October 2026 at the Johari Rotana in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

This year’s conference theme is “Bridging the Cancer Care Gap in Tanzania,” a pressing issue in our country that needs urgent attention. The subthemes of the conference will include Cancer Prevention and Control, Diagnosis, Treatment & Care, Cancer Research, Palliative Care & Survivorship.

We call upon all experts, researchers, physicians, nurses, policymakers, and other stakeholders in oncology to join us in exploring practical solutions that can improve the provision of cancer care services in Tanzania. By working together, we can improve early diagnosis and treatment, which will ultimately reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cancer in our country.

Kindly register through the link in our website homepage or mail us at info@tanzaniaoncologysociety.or.tz for any further queries. We eagerly look forward to seeing you at the TICC2023.

Best regards,

Dr. Jerry Ndumbalo

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Colorectal cancer, or CRC, is a disease of the colon or rectum, which are parts of the digestive system. Unlike most cancers, colorectal cancer is often preventable with screening and highly treatable when detected early. Most cases of colorectal cancer occur in people ages 45 and older, but the disease is increasingly affecting younger

According to colorectal cancer Alliance

Screening is the No. 1 way to prevent or detect this disease early, when it’s most treatable. With early detection, CRC has a 90% survival rate.When it comes to colorectal cancer, the most common symptom is no symptom. That’s why colorectal cancer is called the silent killer. If you’re 45 and at average risk, get screened!Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer among men and women combined.

Risk Factors

While anyone can develop colorectal cancer, a few conditions can increase risk.Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.A personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps.A genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).Black/African Americans and Ashkenazi Jews are at higher risk.
