Track: Health Equity & Access in Cancer Care
Cancer outcomes remain starkly unequal across the globe, shaped not by biology alone but by income, geography, and access to healthcare infrastructure. This session highlights the structural and economic barriers that prevent equitable access to cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, focusing on global collaboration, resource allocation, and public health interventions designed to close persistent gaps in preventive oncology and cancer care delivery worldwide.
Disparities in Cancer Screening and Diagnosis Across Income Levels
Access to mammography, biopsy, and imaging technologies varies sharply between high- and low-income regions. This sub-topic examines how economic barriers delay early detection and explores models for extending affordable screening infrastructure to underserved populations.
Geographic and Rural-Urban Gaps in Cancer Care Delivery
Distance from specialized treatment centers remains a major barrier to timely cancer care. This sub-topic highlights mobile clinics, regional referral networks, and decentralized care models that bring prevention and diagnosis closer to rural and remote communities.
Equitable Access to Genetic Testing and Personalized Prevention
Genetic and genomic testing remain concentrated in well-resourced healthcare systems. This sub-topic explores strategies to expand access to hereditary risk assessment and personalized prevention tools across diverse economic and regional contexts.
Public-Private Partnerships for Resource Allocation in Oncology
Collaboration between governments, NGOs, and private healthcare providers can extend the reach of cancer prevention programs. This sub-topic examines funding models, shared infrastructure, and partnership frameworks that improve equitable resource distribution.
Reducing Socioeconomic Barriers to Cancer Treatment Continuity
Financial toxicity and lost income often interrupt treatment adherence. This sub-topic focuses on policy and program-level solutions, such as insurance reform, subsidized care, and patient navigation services, that help sustain treatment continuity across socioeconomic groups.
If you are advancing research or programs that address disparities in cancer care, this is your opportunity to share your work with a global audience. Submit an abstract to present strategies, data, or models that advance equitable access to cancer prevention and treatment.
