About War on Cancer 2017

In the two years since the launch of our War on Cancer series, our discussions have taken us to a place of cautious optimism about the future. We have explored how advances in diagnostics, therapy and information technology hold the potential to transform the outlook for people living with cancer. At the same time, we have interrogated the structures of our healthcare systems, and how the economics of healthcare, its incentives and its policies, can act as a barrier to optimal care.

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.
