World Cancer Leaders Summit

The World Cancer Leaders’ Summit 2025 will convene in Melbourne, Australia, bringing together global leaders in cancer control to strengthen coordinated responses to one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time.

Held every two years, the Summit provides a high-level platform for decision-makers across sectors to share strategies, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate progress in cancer prevention, treatment, and care — all central to the broader noncommunicable disease (NCD) agenda.

This year’s Summit is hosted by Cancer Council Victoria, in collaboration with leading Australian cancer alliances and supported by government, research institutions, and academia across the Asia-Pacific region.
