For an Agency, that received the Nobel Peace Price in 2005, I find this a truly noble peaceful use of nuclear energy.” “Your Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy launched in 2004 builds on a long collaboration between our two Agencies.” “A complex disease like cancer must be tackled and it must be tackled on multiple fronts by multiple partners. IAEA offers unparalleled expertise in radiation medicine, a wider component of cancer diagnosis and treatment.”
