Delivering High Value Cancer Care

The global burden of cancer continues to rise, with an increasing number of cancer cases over the past two decades – particularly among younger women – placing sustained pressure on healthcare services and affecting well-being and economic outcomes. This report provides new, cross-country evidence and policy insights on how to deliver cancer care that ensures value for patients and healthcare systems. Drawing on quantitative and qualitative analyses – including new internationally comparable indicators and a policy survey – the report examines three pressing priorities to deliver high value cancer care: faster access to care, evidence-based and efficient care that ensures the best health outcomes; and people-centred approaches that reflect individuals’ needs and preferences.
