Track: Global Cancer Policy and Health Systems

Cancer Policy

Effective cancer prevention depends not only on scientific innovation but on the policies and health systems that translate research into population-level impact. This session highlights national cancer control planning, health system strengthening, and cross-border policy collaboration that determine how quickly and equitably advances in preventive oncology reach patients around the world.


National Cancer Control Plans and Policy Frameworks

Countries vary widely in how they structure cancer prevention policy. This sub-topic examines the design and implementation of national cancer control plans, screening mandates, and government-led prevention initiatives.


Integrating Screening and Vaccination into Public Health Infrastructure

Sustainable cancer prevention requires embedding screening and immunization programs into existing health systems. This sub-topic explores integration models that strengthen routine healthcare delivery while expanding preventive oncology coverage.


Cross-Border Collaboration and International Health Governance

Cancer prevention increasingly requires coordination beyond national borders. This sub-topic highlights the role of international bodies, treaties, and shared data frameworks in advancing global cancer control efforts.


Health System Strengthening in Low-Resource Settings

Weak healthcare infrastructure remains a major obstacle to cancer prevention in many regions. This sub-topic focuses on capacity-building, workforce training, and infrastructure investment strategies that support sustainable, long-term prevention systems.


Policy-Driven Financing for Cancer Prevention Programs

Sustainable funding is essential to scaling prevention efforts. This sub-topic examines public financing models, insurance policy reform, and government budget allocation strategies that support long-term cancer prevention initiatives.
