Lancet Commission 2023: Global Cancer Surgery
2023
This Lancet Oncology Commission report focuses on cancer surgery, presenting actions and solutions toward improving access to surgery for people worldwide. The report, which builds upon the Commission’s 2015 report on global cancer surgery and its significance to cancer control, provides pragmatic, broad initiatives to reduce inequities and improve access to safe, affordable surgery for patients with cancer. The report includes three main sections: global solutions, region-specific solutions to improve surgical care, and a call to action focused on implementation aimed at stakeholders such as public health officials and government leaders. The authors aim to promote cancer surgery that is accessible and affordable for all, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location.
The report is accompanied by several commentary articles.
