Fond\u00e9e en septembre 1982, AORTIC est n\u00e9e d\u2019une discussion lors d\u2019une pause d\u00e9jeuner pendant le 13e Congr\u00e8s international sur le cancer qui s\u2019est tenu \u00e0 Seattle, Washington, \u00c9tats-Unis, la m\u00eame ann\u00e9e. Se rem\u00e9morant les excellents r\u00e9sultats en mati\u00e8re de recherche collaborative, de traitement et d\u2019\u00e9ducation dans le domaine du cancer dans les ann\u00e9es 1950 et 1960 \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 d\u2019Ibadan (Nigeria) et \u00e0 l\u2019universit\u00e9 Makerere (Ouganda), nos fondateurs ont rappel\u00e9 que ces institutions avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 des centres d\u2019attraction pour les chercheurs internationaux sur le cancer, par exemple, suite \u00e0 l\u2019identification d\u2019un cancer infantile que nous connaissons aujourd\u2019hui sous le nom de lymphome de Burkitt. <\/p>

AORTIC a tenu sa conf\u00e9rence inaugurale dans la ville de Lom\u00e9, au Togo, en Afrique de l\u2019Ouest, en 1983 et \u00e9tait une petite communaut\u00e9 dynamique jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1980, o\u00f9 les troubles et autres d\u00e9fis sur notre continent ont rendu les voyages et les r\u00e9unions difficiles et ont vu les taux d\u2019\u00e9migration des universitaires augmenter. En 2000, un groupe de m\u00e9decins africains expatri\u00e9s, de scientifiques et d\u2019amis motiv\u00e9s ont uni leurs forces pour r\u00e9activer AORTIC en tant que r\u00e9seau professionnel ax\u00e9 sur le renforcement des capacit\u00e9s en mati\u00e8re de recherche et de prestation de services de lutte contre le cancer. Depuis lors, AORTIC a tenu sa conf\u00e9rence biennale et a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 inscrire la pr\u00e9vention et le contr\u00f4le du cancer \u00e0 l\u2019ordre du jour des politiques africaines, ainsi qu\u2019\u00e0 travailler en partenariat avec l\u2019Union internationale contre le cancer et l\u2019Alliance des MNT pour obtenir la r\u00e9union de haut niveau sur les maladies non transmissibles en 2011 et le plan d\u2019action mondial et le cadre de suivi qui en ont d\u00e9coul\u00e9 et qui fa\u00e7onnent le travail national d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
