Cancer impacts the lives of Âé¶¹Ó³»ns, the healthcare system, our communities and our world. As the number of new cases continues to grow, and as more people survive their diagnoses, we need to prepare Âé¶¹Ó³»¡¯s cancer system for the future.
The Cancer SCN initiated the development of the Future of Cancer Impact (FOCI) in Âé¶¹Ó³» and engaged patients, families, Âé¶¹Ó³»¡¯s scientific and clinical community and other stakeholders in a collaborative effort to stimulate discussion, planning and action around cancer prevention, treatment and supportive care over the next two decades.
Designed for a broad range of stakeholders, the FOCI report provides an updated summary of key cancer statistics, an overview of cancer services in Âé¶¹Ó³» today, and insight into cancer-related topics, including the cost of cancer care and health equity.
It is intended to serve as both a catalyst and resource to bolster and accelerate Âé¶¹Ó³»¡¯s drive towards innovation and quality improvement across the entire cancer continuum.
