About the summit:

So what are the goals of the global War on Cancer? Our aim, is not simply to wage war against cancer, but to improve care for cancer patients.

• What constitutes optimal care in an era of complex care, where cancer may be curable or transformed into a chronic disease?
• Whether the disease is curable or not, cancer leaves a legacy for patients, carers and broader society: disability, impaired quality of life, symptom control, stigma, psychological trauma, productivity and employment loss can have a profound impact.
• What are patients’ needs?
• How well are these being met?
• How can this be improved?
• And, most critically, what will improve the patient journey, now and in the future?

WHY ATTEND:

War on Cancer London 2017 will bring together providers, industry representatives, employers and policymakers for a patient-led discussion. If the “war on cancer” is to be won, patients first need to define what victory looks like.​
