Cancer organizations play a pivotal role in engaging with policymakers. These organizations often:
1. Conduct Research: Provide the scientific evidence necessary to support policy proposals. 2. Advocate: Lobby for policy changes at local, national, and international levels. 3. Educate: Offer educational resources and training for policymakers to understand the complexities of cancer care. 4. Support Patients: Represent the interests and needs of cancer patients and survivors in policy discussions.
