The Lancet Oncology Commission on cancer in the Commonwealth examines how the 56 Commonwealth countries, home to 2.7 billion people, can collectively address the growing cancer burden and gaps in healthcare capacity. It analyses cancer incidence, survival rates, healthcare infrastructure, and financial resources, within the changing geopolitical and economic global landscape.
The Commission demonstrates that expanding cancer-control interventions can improve five-year survival rates while generating substantial health, economic, and wider benefits. It identifies six priority areas for investment: improving access to affordable, high-quality cancer technologies; transforming healthcare delivery; promoting innovation; strengthening patient and public engagement; enhancing education and professional development; and developing robust data systems and comprehensive national cancer control plans. It goes on to explore potential funding mechanisms and outlines actions for individual countries, collective Commonwealth initiatives, and the Commonwealth Secretariat to support implementation, strengthen collaboration, and reduce inequalities in cancer care across the Commonwealth.
