Session

The 2018 World Cancer Leaders' Summit took place on Monday 1 October at the Grand Hyatt of Kuala Lumpur, in conjunction with the 2018 World Cancer Congress. It was preceded by the Summit Dinner, on the evening of the 30th.

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.

Cancer and other NCDs impede economic development at national level on account of their negative impact on macroeconomic productivity, incomes, healthcare budgets, and household impoverishment due to out of pocket expenditure. The cost of inaction far exceeds the cost of action. Progress can be achieved including through the mobilisation and effective use of domestic public resources including tobacco taxation, supplemented by international assistance and private sector support.

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.

Katie Dain, NCD Alliance (Switzerland)

Cancer and other NCDs are collectively driven by the same risk factors and often present as co-morbidities, while many other people live with both NCDs and communicable diseases. People suffering from multiple diseases require complex, ongoing, holistic care, and yet health systems are ill-equipped to respond. The burden of NCDs can be effectively reduced through adopting an integrated approach across the lifecourse, bringing together health and social workers across different specialisms.

In the lead up to the UN High Level Meeting on NCDs, much of the dialogue focussed on the need for bold and innovative action on NCDs. A dedicated High-Level Commission was established by WHO, and tasked with developing a shortlist of recommendations to guide the next phase of the response. Discussions among Commissioners highlighted the political forces at play. While innovation is a crucial component of progress in the NCD Response, the next phase of the NCD era must equally focus on overcoming barriers to implementing what we already know works.

In a rapidly urbanising world, with more than half of the global population living in cities, the threat to human and planetary health is undeniable. However, concrete actions exist which are proved to successfully reduce air pollution, promote physical activity, and improve diets, with clear simultaneous co-benefits for cancer, other NCDs, and climate change mitigation. Cities also present a unique opportunity to provide access to quality health services for people living with cancer and other NCDs.
