Sponsorship Opportunities

The Victorian Cytology Service Inc (VCS), in association with the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases (NCIRS), is proud to be the organiser of Preventing Cervical Cancer 2009: Integrating screening and vaccination (PCC 2009).

PCC 2009 will be held at the Sofitel, Melbourne, on 18th- 20th March 2009. This major health conference will bring together international and Australian experts in cervical screening, vaccination and cancer epidemiology to debate and explore current and future directions in the prevention of cervical cancer.

Australia’s cervical screening program is amongst the most successful in the world. Now, coupled with our world-leading commitment to population-based vaccination for high-risk HPV, Australia is poised to develop highly effective new models for cervical cancer prevention which could eventually lead to the almost total eradication of this disease.

PCC 2009 will provide a forum for leading experts to share their vision for the prevention of cervical cancer in a post-vaccination environment at a critical time in policy development. Invited speakers include:

Ian Frazer - Head of Centre for Immunology and Cancer Research, University of Queensland, and Australian of the Year 2006.
Simon Dobson, Clinical Associate Professor, University of British Columbia
Eduardo Franco, Professor of Epidemiology and Oncology and Director, Division of Cancer Epidemiology, McGill University, Montreal
Chris Meijer, Head and Director, Department of Pathology, Vrije Universiteit Medical Centre, Amsterdam.
