Clinical evaluation of UHC for cancer HOW CAN WE MOBILISE ACTION TO REALISE UHC IN ASIA? Clinical evaluation of UHC for cancer Shigeo Horie, M.D., Ph. D. Department of Urology Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine
3 objectives of UHC Equity in access to health services those who need the services should get them, not only those who can pay for them Quality of health services Being good enough to improve the health of those receiving services Financial-risk protection ensuring that the cost of using care does not put people at risk of financial hardship.
How UHC for cancer can be achieved in Asia UHC is conceptually appealing but its application will vary from one country to another given the diversity of country levels of economic development, health system resources and epidemiological challenges. It is important to identify ways of measuring UHC across countries that are comparable but adaptable to local contexts. MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE WHO summary report 2013
Breast cancer survival is a key indicator for UHC in cancer control How countries are covering prevention, care, and treatment of cancers. a focus on women the need for well-trained health workers and functioning infrastructure including laboratory capacity, an adequate stock of medicines, and radiation equipment.
Fundamental barriers to UHC of cancer care Primary prevention Survivorship Palliation Eligibility financial barriers Accessibility linkage barriers between services with referral networks

UHC and clinical guidelines Clinical guidelines should be stratified according to the resource availability. Resource-stratified guidelines can be utilized for bench-marking.

Kaplan–Meier estimates of OS in Swedish patients diagnosed with mRCC by year of diagnosis 2012 2002 M Lindskog et al. ASCO-GU 2015
More access to drugs, longer life span International mRCC Database Consortium database Overall survival of patients who received 1, 2, or 3+ lines of target therapy were 14.9, 21.0, and 39.2 months, respectively On multivariable analysis, 2 lines and 3+ lines of therapy were each associated with better OS (HR=0.738 and 0.626, P<0.0001).
