ANZGOG releases co-authored position paper on uterine cancer

“Spotlight on uterine cancer: Shaping access to equitable and high-quality care”

Uterine cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in Australia – and the second most common globally. Despite this, uterine cancers are often missing from national cancer plans and global health priorities. Without awareness, there is no accountability, no funding, and no progress. The position paper on uterine cancer “Spotlight on uterine cancer: Shaping access to equitable and high-quality care”, which IGCS co-authored with like-minded organizations from around the world, including AstraZeneca, is a call to governments and policymakers everywhere: the time to act is now.

Launched at the 2025 Concordia Annual Summit, held alongside the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting, the paper sets out clear, actionable steps to change the trajectory of uterine cancer. It calls for governments and health systems globally to integrate uterine cancer into national health strategies, invest in early detection so more women are diagnosed in time, and guarantee equitable access to care options and innovation. These are practical changes that can save lives, reduce disparities, and bring uterine cancer out of the shadows. We urge everyone to listen, to act, and to put uterine cancer where it belongs – on the global health agenda.
