Vision Zero Cancer

Important results from the project

The project has delivered according to plan and met its goals, resulting in system innovation and spin-off collaborations. Vision Zero Cancer has implemented several principles mentioned in research on what is required to meet grand challenges. There are now informal and formal networks that make it faster to mobilize expertise to, for example, match actors to solve problems, write new applications, drive change and participate in educational efforts on mission-driven work.

Expected long term effects

The long-term effects are expected to include earlier detection of cancer in primary care and through screening, improved diagnostics and treatment through the implementation of precision medicine, increased patient participation and faster implementation of innovative technologies in healthcare. Through the project´s network and results, a stable platform is created for continued research and development in the field of cancer, incl. a model for cross-sectoral organization and governance.

Approach and implementation

Vision Zero Cancer has used the vision to gather relevant and motivated actors with the knowledge, capacity and mandate to change the system. Through five thematic target areas, the project has addressed the entire care chain – from prevention and early detection to rehabilitation and innovation. Projects have been clustered within five different flagship initiatives and spin-off projects. A coordination office has served as a catalyst and “safe pentahelix convening space”.
