American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the leading medical professional oncology society, is committed to lessening the burden of cancer and as such will promote underused interventions that have the potential to save millions of lives through cancer prevention. As the main providers of cancer care worldwide, our patients, their families, and our communities look to us for guidance regarding all things cancer related, including cancer prevention. Through this statement and accompanying recommendations, ASCO hopes to increase awareness of the tremendous global impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) –caused cancers, refocus the discussion of HPV vaccination on its likely ability to prevent millions of cancer deaths, and increase HPV vaccination uptake via greater involvement of oncology professionals in ensuring accurate public discourse about HPV vaccination and calling for the implementation of concrete strategies to address barriers to vaccine access and acceptance.

Abstract In Mexico, paediatric cancer is the leading cause of death for children aged 0–18 years. This study analyses the main challenges for paediatric cancer care from the perspective of three key health systems functions: stewardship, financing and service delivery. The study used a mixed methods approach comprised of: (1) a scoping literature review, (2) an analysis of 2008–18 expenditures on paediatric cancer by the Fund for Protection against Catastrophic Expenditures (FPGC) of Seguro Popular and (3) a nation-wide survey of the supply capacity of 59 Ministry of Health (MoH) and 39 Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) hospitals engaged in paediatric cancer care. The study found that while Mexico has made substantial progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) for paediatric cancer treatment, serious gaps persist. FPGC funds for paediatric cancer increased from 2008 to 2011 to reach US$36 million and then declined to US$13.6 million in 2018, along with the number of covered cases. The distribution of health professionals and paediatric oncology infrastructure is uneven between MoH and IMSS hospitals and across Mexican regions. Both institutions share common barriers for continuous and co-ordinated health care and lack monitoring activities that cripple their capacity to apply uniform standards for high-quality cancer care. In conclusion, achieving universal and effective coverage of paediatric cancer treatment is a critical component of UHC for Mexico. This requires periodic and ongoing assessment of health system performance specific to paediatric cancer to identify gaps and propose strategies for continued investment and improvement of access to care and health outcomes for this important cause of premature mortality.
