Leading the way in cancer care

Insight Series, issue 40: A thought leadership paper on “Innovating personalized care”


Effective cancer care requires more than just excellent medical and technological solutions. It also demands effective teamwork, quick decision-making, clear vision, and an ability to respond to the diverse needs of patients. In other words: strong leadership

The challenges faced by oncology leaders, include rising costs of care, integrating and applying new medical knowledge, rising numbers of cancer cases, responding to the needs of diverse patient groups, and organizational structures that often remain fragmented. In a complex and rapidly changing field like cancer care, effective leadership consists not only of making the right decisions but also serving as a role model for others. Leadership will continue to be essential to guide, motivate, and inspire cancer care teams.

This paper identifies and examines leadership approaches that will be essential in the rapidly changing oncology landscape of tomorrow.
