The Norwegian Cancer Society has launched a global campaign to raise awareness among the cancer community of the devastating effects of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for cancer patients.
"We should indeed care and take responsibility: If we do nothing, we risk having to witness that important progress made in cancer treatment –thanks to the joint efforts from governments, civil society, research institutions and private sector - can be set back decades, while the incidence of cancer cases will continue to rise in the years to come", said Anne Lise Ryel.
