Collaborative Initiative Aims to Accelerate Women's Cancer Solutions in USChina

Coalition-Building Initiative to Accelerate Women's Cancer Solutions in the US and China

Cancer, a leading cause of death worldwide, disproportionately affects women. In China, four out of the top ten cancers by incidence are women-specific, including breast and cervical cancer. Despite advancements in cancer control and prevention efforts in both nations, significant challenges persist.

Recognizing this shared burden and potential for collaboration, the Milken Institute has initiated a Coalition-Building between the US and China on Women's Cancer Detection, Treatment, and Care. This initiative harness the collective power of non-profit organizations, government agencies, and private sector entities to overcome barriers impeding patient outcomes in women’s cancer care.

To kickstart this collaborative effort, the Milken Institute partnered with the US-China Business Council USCBC to organize a comprehensive roundtable discussion. Held in Hong Kong on March 2024, the event convened over forty delegates from China and the United States representing biomedical sectors including government agencies like the National Cancer Institute of the US National Institutes of Health, federal departments such as Commerce, State, and Health and Services HHS, Chinese National Cancer Center representatives, medical institutions in Hong Kong, along with USCBC member companies from life sciences industries.

This document summarizes key discussions and potential areas for collaboration identified during this roundtable.

Objective: The objective is to identify and explore actionable opportunities that can accelerate innovation, improve diagnostics, enhance treatments, foster patient care, and ultimately, strengthen the global response to women's cancer challenges.

Potential Areas of Collaboration:

1. Data Sharing: Establishing secure platforms for sharing anonymized data on clinical trials, research outcomes, and case studies could significantly advance understanding of disease progression and treatment effectiveness.

2. Joint Research Initiatives: Collaborating on cutting-edge research projects focusing on biomarkers specific to women’s cancers might lead to personalized medicine advancements that target ger-specific vulnerabilities.

3. Clinical Trials Partnership: Facilitating joint participation in global clinical trials ensures access to the latest treatments for patients in both countries and helps accelerate regulatory approval processes through shared data and experiences.

4. Public-Private Partnerships: Strengthening cooperation between government agencies, healthcare institutions, and private sector leaders to develop affordable diagnostics and therapies specifically tlored for women’s cancers.

This initiative underscores the commitment of the Milken Institute towards leveraging synergies between US-China partnerships in health care innovation, with a particular focus on overcoming ger-based disparities in cancer outcomes.
