Entitled ‘Cancer Treatment for All', the annual high-level policy forum was hosted by the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM).

350 global leaders and influencers in cancer control and public health (from across governments, UN agencies, academia, the non-profit and private sectors) joined forces to issue an urgent call to countries to increase access to, and investment in, cancer services for improved early detection, treatment and care, in order to contribute to the 25x25 NCD targets.

The Summit is mainly open to UICC members and partners and is a by invite only event.

Come and enjoy breakfast while meeting with other UICC members and partners

Networking is one of the main reasons for people to come to the UICC Congress. However, it is not easy to just start talking to total strangers. Therefore, with the Break-Ice-Fast session, UICC is offering members and partners a hand in their networking to help sharing interests and to help Serendipity.

The Break-Ice-Fast Session will:

- connect you to at least 8-10 new people in an informal, fun format;

- start working towards specific results you can obtain from the Congress;

- while at the same time keeping your conversations open and light-hearted.

Before the World Cancer Congress in Kuala Lumpur, the cancer community waits in anticipation of the outcomes of the incredible opportunity the United Nations High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on non communicable diseases (NCDs) offers in September 2018, which will allow us to demonstrate the importance of cancer as a health and development priority and illustrate the fantastic progress made thus far in terms of national cancer plans. We firmly believe that a focus on strengthening early detection, diagnosis and timely treatment of cancer and other NCDs will make a significant contribution to the 2025 and 2030 targets and improve outcomes of these deadly chronic diseases.
