On October 25, 2010, the National Cancer Policy Forum hosted the National Cancer Policy Summit. The Summit convened key thought leaders in the cancer community to identify and discuss the most pressing policy issues in cancer research and cancer care. Discussions between invited panelists and Forum members guided the Forum’s strategic planning and ensured that NCPF activities are responsive to priorities in the cancer community.
In addition to the invited panelists, the National Cancer Policy Summit was open to members of the public. All stakeholders were welcomed and encouraged to submit their input to the Forum in writing.
