The National Cancer Center of Rabaat has been in collaboration with IARC for several years. Cervical cancer is the most prevalent cancer in this population. Dr. Amr Soliman has been in collaboration with colleagues from this center for several years, and visits Morocco regularly. He has ongoing studies with local collaborators in Morocco on the chemoprevention of cervical cancer. Opportunities for students will be focused on the epidemiology of cervical cancer, the most common cancer among women in Morocco.
