Expanding access to cancer care and control in LMICs:

Mirrors the epidemiological transition

LMICs increasingly face both infection-

associated cancers, and all other cancers.

The Cancer TransitionDouble burden for health systems

Cancers increasingly only of the poor, are

not the only cancers affecting the poor

LMICs account for >90% of cervical and 70%

of breast cancer deaths. Both are leading killers

especially of young - women.

Cancer is a disease of both rich and poor;

yet it is increasingly the poor who suffer:

1. Exposure to risk factors

2. Preventable cancers (infection)

3. Death and disability fromtreatable cancer

4. Stigma and discrimination

5. Avoidable pain and suffering

The costs of inaction are huge:

Invest I NactionTobacco is a huge economic risk: 3.6% lower GDP

Total economic cost of cancer, 2010: 2-4% of global GDP

Prevention and treatment offers

potential world savings of

$ US 130-940 billion

1/3-1/2 of cancer deaths are avoidable:2.4-3.7 million deaths,

of which 80% are in LIMCs


22/48

The costs to close the cancer divide

are and may be less than many fear:

All but 3 of 29 LMIC priority cancer chemo and

hormonal agents are off-patent

Pain medication is cheap

Prices drop: HepB and HPV vaccines

Delivery & financing innovations are

underutilized & undeveloped so that purchasing

is fragmented and procurement is unstable

includes key cancer drugs

The Diagonal Approach to

Health System StrengtheningRather than focusing on either disease-specific vertical orhorizontal-systemic programs, harness synergies that

provide opportunities to tackle disease-specific priorities

while addressing systemic gaps and optimize available

resources

Diagonal strategies major benefits:X = > parts

Bridge disease divides using a life cycle response

avoids the false dilemmas between disease silos -

CD/NCD- that continue to plague global health

Generate positive externalities: e.g. womens cancer

programs fight gender discrimination; pain control 4all


27/48

Diagonal Strategies:

Positive Externalities

Promoting prevention and healthy lifestyles:

Reduce risk for cancer and other diseases

Reducing stigma for womens cancers:Contributes to reducing gender discrimination.

Investing in treatment produces champions

Pain control and palliationReducing barriers to access is essential for

cancer, for other diseases, and for surgery.
