What are the commercial determinants of cancer control policy?

Wednesday 27 April 2022, 12:00-13:00 CET

Cancer is a major health, social and public policy challenge and successfully tackling it requires an understanding of all its determinants. Although commercial determinants are a relatively new field of study, there are emerging themes which are very important for cancer policy and the cancer control continuum.
Commercial determinants are those private-sector activities that affect the health of populations, but this is often neglected due to commercial interests often trumping nobler health goals.
So, what are the commercial determinants of cancer control policy? What are the challenges and opportunities for governing them along the cancer control continuum? Join us to find out!
