Cancer Summit 2023

RAPID Global Cancer Alliance is taking its global cancer advocacy alliance forward through this mega Fourth Edition of Cancer Summit 2023 on 3rd February 2023 in New Delhi.

The summit would bring the government representatives, leading medical professionals, lawmakers, social activists, patient advocacy groups, and cancer survivors to provide their perspectives on important topics, innovative solutions, and the various strategies to educate people about cancer and build a favourable environment for cancer control, diagnosis, and management and also focus on some of the challenges related to India’s optimum cancer care and to enhance the present healthcare system.

Cancer is the second biggest cause of mortality in the world. As a result of research and innovation in clinical and medical oncology, cancer care and management has advanced from an era of ambiguity to one of accuracy. The advancement in cancer treatment has extended life expectancy and saved many lives.

However, improvements in medical technology and health infrastructure, India’s cancer rate is still rising, necessitating a review, and upgrading the current approaches to the disease’s prevention and management. Observed annually on 4th February, World Cancer Day is a global advocacy day aimed at promoting cancer awareness, educating the public about the illness, and encouraging governments and individuals around the globe to act against it in order to reduce the burden of cancer.
