War on Cancer: Celebrating Success, Accelerating Progress
LONDON, Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Policymakers, health-care providers, insurers, investors, scientists, technologists and leading thinkers will gather at War on Cancer Europe Summit on November 26th in Waldorf Astoria, London.
Over the last four years, the Economist Events' series of cancer summits in Europe has articulated the challenges and opportunities in improving cancer control. In 2019, we will look to solutions, not problems. We will celebrate the successes?even if at present these are small-scale?in areas of policy, regulation, investment, partnerships, systems and technology which have led to better outcomes for patients.
Questions we will strive to answer include:
What does good cancer care look like, and in what areas can European countries continue to improve their provision?
Where are the greatest lags in European cancer control and, globally, what are the best examples of progress and success they should look to?
Knowing from experience that change is possible, how can we be ambitious in our pursuit of new paradigms of care that can meet the needs of patients?
What is being done across the region ? and worldwide ? to implement and sustain successful cancer control efforts?
Featured speakers include:
HRH Princess Dina Mired, President, Union for International Cancer Control
Tanel Kiik, Minister of social affairs, Estonia
Henny Braund, Chief executive, Anthony Nolan
Michelle Mitchell OBE, Chief executive, Cancer Research UK
Franco Cavalli, Chairman of the scientific committee, European School of Oncology
