Cancer Care in Denmark
For the last 20 years, Denmark has achieved significant results for Danish cancer patients. Cancer plans and cancer patient pathways have been an important factor the burden of cancer continues to grow, with even more cancer patients and new challenges. The five-year survival rate for cancer in Denmark lacks behind neighboring countries such as the Nordics – primarily due to differences in lifestyle, timely detection and early diagnosis.
All.Can Denmark’s goal is to create a national multi-stakeholder group consisting of key players in the field of cancer care, with its participants working together to identify barriers and suggest potential solutions. All.Can Denmark is a national task force with a global outlook that continuously turns to the other All.Can initiatives around the world for inspiration.
