Susannah Stanway on the London Global Cancer Week
Friday, 19 December, 2025

In Conversation with The Lancet returns with Dr Susannah Stanway, honorary consultant medical oncologist at the Royal Marsden and honorary clinical senior lecturer in Education at the Institute of Cancer Research, reflecting on London Global Cancer Week 2025. This episode goes beyond event highlights to discuss the need for a global oncology agenda rooted in equity, evidence-based care, and value across care settings. Topics span from geriatric oncology to cardio-oncology, nursing workforce resilience, cancer care in conflict zones, and sustainable health financing, showing how multi-stakeholder collaboration can drive policy and practical improvements, especially in low- and middle-income countries.Listeners will take away practical steps for action: integrating geriatric assessment and baseline cardiovascular risk checks, strengthening cancer registries and national audits, and pursuing domestic funding for universal health coverage. The discussion highlights the urgency of addressing cancer globally including context specific solutions sensitive to local settings and emphasises prevention, early diagnosis, and accessible treatment as core priorities.Click here to visit the London Global Cancer week websiteContinue this conversation on social!Follow us today at...https://thelancet.bsky.social/https://instagram.com/thelancetgrouphttps://facebook.com/thelancetmedicaljournalhttps://linkedIn.com/company/the-lancethttps://youtube.com/thelancettv
