The NCI Center for Global Health convened the 9th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research as a virtual 2-day meeting alongside the Consortium of Universities for Global Health Annual Conference, March 10–11, 2021. The virtual format allowed for diverse and inclusive participation by over 400 attendees from 70 countries, 25+ speakers from 12 countries, and sharing of research conducted in 68 countries. The highly interactive 2-day program explored the science and complex considerations around resilience and equity in global cancer research and control. The Symposium convened individuals working in global oncology to discuss trends in global cancer research and control and map out collaborative efforts to move the field forward.
