World Cancer Leaders' Summit 2010

The 2010 World Cancer Leaders’ Summit was held on 19 August 2010, at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Shenzhen, China in conjunction with the 2010 World Cancer Congress.

While the 2006 and 2008 Summits were organised solely by UICC, the 2010 Summit was organised in partnership with the American Cancer Society, LIVESTRONG, the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization.

The theme of the 2010 Summit, “It’s Everyone’s Business”, aimed to reinforce the fact that cancer touches everyone — young, old, women and men alike.

Highlights of the 2010 Summit included the launch of the Global Access to Pain Relief (GAPRI) Initiative and strategising on how best to capitalise on the United Nations High Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases to be held in September 2011.
