Abstract

We must dramatically alter the current trajectory of cancer care to ensure that improvements are accessible by all in the global community. We must bridge the gap between what is achievable and what is accessible. We must act with urgency and precision, recognising the tremendous social and economic costs of inaction. The first priority should be to reframe cancer care. Second, we need to identify different measures of cancer outcomes. Third, we need to challenge extant priorities.
