As part of All.Can’s ongoing efforts to unite international stakeholders and generate evidence for prioritizing cancer care efficiency, we are excited to launch a new video featuring Paula Holmes-Rodman, anthropologist, medical writer and care giver. Through a series of interviews, All.Can aims to capture the perspectives of cancer patients and clinicians, transforming their insights into impactful digital advocacy materials. This initiative seeks to make the concept of cancer care efficiency more accessible and actionable, ensuring that it is not just an abstract term but a tangible goal for healthcare systems worldwide. Sharing heartfelt personal stories and actionable insights, Paula Holmes-Rodman highlights the importance of moving beyond a "one-size-fits-all" system to ensure that every patient's unique needs are met. From addressing the challenges of late diagnoses in ovarian cancer to considering the specific barriers faced by autistic individuals navigating cancer care, this video delves into the nuanced ways that healthcare systems must evolve to deliver equitable, appropriate, and timely care. This video also aligns closely with the All.Can Action Guide for Efficient Cancer Care, which emphasizes actionable strategies for improving cancer care systems worldwide. By showcasing real-life perspectives from patients and caregivers, the video transforms the Action Guide’s principles into relatable and practical insights, illustrating how healthcare systems can adapt to become more equitable, personalized, and effective.

As part of All.Can’s mission to unite stakeholders and promote actionable strategies for cancer care efficiency, we are proud to release a thought-provoking new video featuring Enric Barba, Patient Expert and Patient Advocate at Asociación Melanoma España. This insightful conversation explores the critical role of placing patients at the core of cancer care processes to maximize efficiency. Enric emphasizes that achieving the best possible outcomes requires optimizing human, pharmaceutical, and technological resources while prioritizing the needs of patients. By integrating patients’ perspectives into cancer care pathways and clinical trials, healthcare systems can foster collaboration and innovation, leading to better outcomes and resource efficiency. Efficiency in cancer care is about more than resource management. It requires fostering trust between patients and healthcare providers, empowering patients with training and education to engage meaningfully with clinical trials, and ensuring that their voices influence decisions about treatment and care. In the video, Enric also discusses the importance of having robust metrics to evaluate progress and measure whether healthcare systems are truly improving efficiency. Without these metrics, accountability and meaningful improvements remain out of reach. Lastly, the video also underscores the need for governments to allocate sufficient funding to innovative drugs and technologies, as access to these advancements directly impacts patient survival rates and care quality. Raising public awareness about early detection is equally critical, and Enric advocates for annual campaigns led by governments to focus on specific cancers and encourage early diagnosis. Aligned with the principles outlined in the All.Can Action Guide for Efficient Cancer Care, this video reinforces the idea that true efficiency can only be achieved by putting patients at the core of all cancer care activities. By fostering collaboration, driving awareness, and prioritizing equitable access to innovation, we can transform healthcare systems into models of both efficiency and inclusivity. Through a series of interviews, All.Can aims to amplify the voices of patients and clinicians, transforming their insights into impactful digital advocacy materials. This initiative seeks to make cancer care efficiency not just an abstract concept, but a tangible, actionable goal for healthcare systems worldwide. Join us in advancing the conversation about rethinking efficiency in cancer care. Together, we can build systems that are not only efficient but also equitable, personalized, and patient-centred.

As part of All.Can’s mission to unite global stakeholders and generate actionable insights into cancer care efficiency, we are thrilled to announce the release of our latest video featuring Elham Hedayati, Senior Consultant in Oncology and Associate Professor in Sweden. Through this insightful conversation, Elham redefines what efficiency in cancer care truly means. She shares her reflections on the challenges posed by rigid healthcare systems that often prioritize convenience over what is best for patients and providers. She calls for a shift toward flexibility, innovation, and a willingness to challenge conventional practices to achieve better outcomes. Elham underscores the importance of moving beyond group-based care processes, advocating for personalized approaches tailored to individual patient needs. Her remarks emphasize the critical role of benchmarking cancer care outcomes across European countries, supported by robust, risk-adjusted models. By comparing outcomes meaningfully, healthcare systems can eliminate speculative arguments and improve overall efficiency. Key metrics such as cancer-specific survival, short- and long-term side effects, and patient-reported outcomes provide vital insights into care effectiveness. Elham also highlights the importance of education and prevention, as emphasized in the EU Cancer Plan, to foster a deeper understanding among the general population and further improve outcomes. This video aligns closely with the principles outlined in the All.Can Action Guide for Efficient Cancer Care, offering practical strategies to address inefficiencies and deliver more personalized, equitable care. By translating real-world challenges and innovations into actionable insights, the video serves as a powerful resource for advancing the global conversation on cancer care efficiency. Through a series of interviews, All.Can aims to amplify the voices of patients and clinicians, transforming their insights into impactful digital advocacy materials. This initiative seeks to make cancer care efficiency not just an abstract concept, but a tangible, actionable goal for healthcare systems worldwide.
