Taskforce
The World Oncology Forum Taskforce met in Inveruno, Milan, on November 1-2, 2018 to address the questions discussed at the previous meetings. Three reasons to be hopeful were identified: efforts to address non-communicable diseases are being taken increasingly seriously by governments and policy makers; the concept of universal health coverage is gaining traction; and global health discussions have moved on from focusing on prevention and treating simple conditions, to include the need to invest in diagnostic infrastructures to promote early and accurate diagnosis.

Cancer and Global Health
WOF 4, focused on Research and Policy, was held in Lugano, Switzerland in 2017.

Prevent the Preventable
The third World Oncology Forum focused on policies for prevention, and was held in Milan, Italy in 2015.
The following paper was published following WOF3 CANCER PREVENTION AND INTERCEPTION: A NEW ERA FOR CHEMOPREVENTIVE APPROACHES

Treat the treatable
The second World Oncology Forum was held in Lugano in October 2014. It issued two appeals, which called on governments, policy makers and international agencies to work together to carry out a detailed package of actions to expand global access to early detection treatment and care and address problems in the ecosystem for discovering, developing and evaluating new therapies that are hindering faster progress towards cures for cancer.
These appeals were promoted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, 21-24 January 2015, where responding to the rising tide of cancer was on the agenda for the first time.

Are we winning the war on cancer?
The launch event was held in Lugano, Switzerland in October 2012.

It resulted in the Stop Cancer Now! appeal  - a 10 point action plan for governments to deliver on commitments they made at the World Health Assembly in May 2012 to cut preventable deaths from non-communicable diseases by 25% by 2025.

The Stop Cancer Now! appeal covered the policy headings: Prevent preventable cancers, Treat treatable cancers, Support all those living with cancer, Accelerate finding cures for cancers that are not yet curable, and Strengthen policy frameworks and health systems. It was published on World Cancer Day, February 4th 2013, in The Lancet and in leading newspapers across the world.
