Global Cancer Titans Unite: A New Front Opens in the War Against Cancer!
- Landmark Alliance: For the first time, global cancer organizations, including the NCCN, convene for an urgent international strategy session.
- NCCN on the Frontline: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network spearheads efforts, bringing its world-renowned expertise to empower nations in their cancer battles.
- Forging Global Defenses: This historic Cancer Planners Forum aims to arm every country with powerful, evidence-based plans to conquer cancer and save lives.
In a groundbreaking move against a relentless global adversary, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is joining forces with the world's leading health organizations for the first-ever Cancer Planners Forum. This isn't just a meeting; it's a war council, dedicated to forging powerful, life-saving National Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs) across the globe. "We strive every day to improve access to high-quality, high-value, patient-centered cancer care for all people globally," declared an NCCN spokesperson, underscoring their sponsorship and active participation in this pivotal international collaboration.
The challenge is immense. While progress has been made, critical gaps in funding, access, and the integration of evidence-based strategies persist in many national cancer plans. This landmark forum, organized by The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) with giants like the WHO and IARC, confronts these deficiencies head-on. It's a critical juncture, especially as non-communicable diseases like cancer take center stage on the global health agenda.
NCCN, a powerhouse with nearly half of its two million NCCN Guidelines® users outside the U.S., is uniquely positioned to drive this change1, 2, 3. Leveraging three decades of expertise in defining premier cancer care and its history of global collaboration through conferences and regional initiatives4, 5, 6, NCCN is committed to ensuring that every nation can tailor the best evidence-based strategies to its unique needs. This forum is a clarion call for unified action, a beacon of hope in the complex fight to achieve Universal Health Coverage and turn the tide against cancer everywhere.
