Currently taking place from 22–25 March 2026, the Pan-African Cancer Research Institute (PACRI) Conference brings together leading voices in cancer research across the continent.

At this year’s conference, Dr Lervasen Pillay is delivering the only exercise-related presentation, highlighting the role of physical activity and exercise science within cancer care.

His contribution places exercise firmly within the broader conversation of oncology — emphasising its role in supporting patient outcomes, improving quality of life, and complementing traditional treatment approaches.

Representation in spaces like these is critical as we continue to advance the integration of exercise into cancer care across Africa.
