What does ICBP mean in CANCER

The International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP) is an initiative led by the World Health Organization and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation to improve the quality of cancer care around the world. The partnership works with countries to identify gaps in cancer systems and develops recommendations to help close those gaps.

ICBP was created as a response to the growing global burden of cancer. Its mission is to reduce cancer mortality and improve patient outcomes through evidence-based interventions, data sharing, collaboration, and best practices.

ICBP's key objectives include developing methods for measuring progress in cancer control, advancing research on treatments, improving access to care, promoting early detection strategies, and advocating for improved public health policies at both national and international levels.

ICBP uses data from monitoring systems across countries to measure progress against different indicators such as mortality rates, case detection rates, patient survival rates, etc. These indicators provide a basis for evaluating current systems for combating cancer and determining where improvements need to be made.

Through its research networks, ICBP helps coordinate multidisciplinary experts from different countries who are committed to advancing clinical evidence on specific topics related to reducing cancer mortality and controlling disease spread. Additionally it supports novel investigator-initiated clinical trials relevant to comprehensive cancer control.

Resources provided by ICBP are available online at their website (www.icbpglobal.org). There you can find information about initiatives underway in various countries across the globe and access their publications which focus on major cancers including breast, lung and colorectal cancers.

In order to help countries advance their capacity for responding effectively to their own national context of cancer care quality assurance needs, ICBP provides various training opportunities tailored to meet country needs such as online classes or workshops related to surveillance systems design or environmental sampling best practice guidelines. Furthermore it offers additional support services like expert secondment programs that pair international faculty with local counterparts in university settings.

Yes! In times of disasters or emergencies (natural disasters included), ICPB provides rapid assessment services in affected areas as well as direct support services such as technical cooperation among countries requesting assistance with emergency preparedness planning or implementation of specialized technical expertise for responding quickly after a crisis.

No! All resources offered by ICCP are free of cost however organizations do have full financial responsibility over implementing requested trainings or hosting activities organized within its framework.

There are various ways you can become involved with ICCP's work depending on your level expertise or interests including volunteering directly with one of our member counties; joining project teams working on specific topics; attending conferences organized around particular fields; submitting abstracts on original research under consideration for presentation; applying for posts open at our partner institutions; or even engaging directly with policy makers leading advocacy initiatives.
