Hayley Jones, Director at McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Day one of WCLS2025 made clear that the epicentre of global health is shifting, and with it comes a renewed urgency to act. We heard frank reflections on cancer care needs in the Pacific, alongside powerful discussions on why supportive care and patient navigation must be at the heart of future systems.
The fantastic liver cancer session delivered a reminder of the crisis and opportunities for coordinated action. The day also featured a compelling panel on improving cancer outcomes for Indigenous peoples, a sobering yet clarifying look at the future of multilateralism and global health, and insights on AI and cancer planning.
And as always, some of the most exciting possibilities emerged in the corridors— side conversations on shared challenges that spark new ideas and collaborations we are just starting to imagine.
As well as catching up with so many lovely friends, a highlight was meeting our MC, the inimitable Virginia Trioli, whose warmth and clarity set the tone for thoughtful dialogue in the ‘Donut of Discussion’! IYKYK
Huge appreciation to the dedicated volunteers from the McCabe Centre for Law and Cancer, Cancer Council Victoria, and the outstanding organisation by Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). This work is what truly enables us to live this year’s theme: bridging divides, building futures.
Proud to welcome some of the brightest cancer minds to my hometown of Melbourne as we continue shaping fairer, stronger cancer futures together. Bring on Day 2!”
