Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) shared on LinkedIn:
“UICC is delighted to see the Lancet Oncology Commission on Cancer in the Commonwealth launched at the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
We are proud that many current and former UICC Board members, including our current President and President-elect, contributed to this important work.
The Commission sets out an urgent agenda to address the rapidly rising cancer burden across the Commonwealth’s 56 member countries, home to around 2.7 billion people, highlighting how investment in cancer control can save lives while strengthening health systems and economies.
The launch at CHOGM is an important opportunity to bring this evidence directly to political leaders and build momentum for stronger, more equitable cancer control across the Commonwealth.”
