NCCN advocates for regional cancer care guidelines at World Cancer Congress

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is participating in the bi-annual World Cancer Congress in Hong Kong. During the event, the NCCN presented research abstracts suggesting that National Cancer Control Plans should incorporate guidelines that are tailored to specific regions.

The World Cancer Congress, organized by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), serves as a major international forum for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers from over 120 countries. NCCN CEO Crystal S. Denlinger emphasized the importance of global access to high-quality cancer prevention and treatment, noting the opportunity to engage with international decision-makers to improve global cancer outcomes.
