Global health organisations have unveiled a bold ten-year roadmap to slash cancer deaths by 25% by 2035. Coordinated by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) with WHO and IARC, the plan focuses on early diagnosis, improved treatment, and equitable care, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The initiative, announced ahead of the World Cancer Leaders’ Summit in Melbourne later this month, aims to ensure 60% of cancers are detected early and close the gap in global cancer survival. Experts say that for countries like Nigeria, aligning national cancer programmes with the global plan and boosting healthcare infrastructure will be critical.
With cancer remaining one of the leading causes of death worldwide, the roadmap is a major step in global efforts to save millions of lives and reduce disparities in care.
