Fundada em setembro de 1982, a AORTIC foi o resultado de uma conversa durante a pausa para almo\u00e7o no 13.\u00ba Congresso Internacional do Cancro, realizado em Seattle, Washington, EUA, no mesmo ano. Recordando o hist\u00f3rico de excel\u00eancia em investiga\u00e7\u00e3o colaborativa, tratamento e educa\u00e7\u00e3o em cancro nas d\u00e9cadas de 1950 e 1960 na Universidade de Ibadan (Nig\u00e9ria) e na Universidade de Makerere (Uganda), os nossos fundadores recordaram que essas institui\u00e7\u00f5es tinham sido centros de atra\u00e7\u00e3o para investigadores internacionais do cancro, por exemplo, ap\u00f3s a identifica\u00e7\u00e3o de um cancro infantil que hoje conhecemos como linfoma de Burkitt. <\/p>

A AORTIC realizou a sua confer\u00eancia inaugural na cidade de Lom\u00e9, Togo, \u00c1frica Ocidental, em 1983 e foi uma comunidade pequena, mas vibrante, at\u00e9 ao final da d\u00e9cada de 1980, altura em que a agita\u00e7\u00e3o e outros desafios em todo o nosso continente dificultaram as viagens e a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o de reuni\u00f5es e assistiram ao aumento das taxas de emigra\u00e7\u00e3o de acad\u00e9micos. Em 2000, um grupo de m\u00e9dicos, cientistas e amigos africanos expatriados juntaram for\u00e7as para reativar a AORTIC como uma rede profissional focada na cria\u00e7\u00e3o de capacidades em investiga\u00e7\u00e3o e presta\u00e7\u00e3o de servi\u00e7os de cancro. Desde ent\u00e3o, a AORTIC realizou a sua confer\u00eancia bienal e contribuiu para colocar a preven\u00e7\u00e3o e o controlo do cancro na agenda pol\u00edtica africana, bem como para trabalhar em parceria com a Uni\u00e3o para o Controlo Internacional do Cancro e a Alian\u00e7a NCD para garantir a Reuni\u00e3o de Alto N\u00edvel sobre doen\u00e7as n\u00e3o transmiss\u00edveis em 2011 e o subsequente plano de a\u00e7\u00e3o global e estrutura de monitoriza\u00e7\u00e3o que molda o trabalho nacional atualmente. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
