Share your experience on cancer and antimicrobial resistance

UICC is seeking to hear from individuals who have navigated the complexities of cancer and drug-resistant infections.

One in five people undergoing treatment for cancer are hospitalised due to infection and such personal experiences are invaluable in driving home the degree to which drug-resistant infections can severely complicate, or even prevent, effective cancer treatment, deeply affecting patient outcomes and quality of life.

Whether it involves enduring a prolonged fight against an infection, adjusting treatment plans to overcome these challenges, or the emotional toll, these experiences can contribute to a wider understanding of the consequences of AMR and highlight the pressing need for effective solutions.
