Valuing outcomes, improving lives: the impact of cancer clinical trials

The Cancer Research Economics Support Team (CREST) is pleased to announce the first Health Economics in Cancer Research Symposium.

This symposium brings together researchers, clinicians, consumers and health economists to explore the critical role that health economics plays in cancer research and in shaping healthcare funding decisions. Throughout the day, we will showcase cancer clinical trials in which CREST has been involved, highlighting the approaches, successes and challenges of embedding health economics into trial design and evaluation.

The program will feature presentations on real‑world trials — demonstrating how:

economic evidence can guide decision‑making,
patient outcomes can be improved, and
the value proposition of cancer interventions can be strengthened

Speakers will share insights from their own work, offering practical examples of how health economics contributes to trial impact and translation.

This is a free event, with a particular focus on supporting early and mid‑career researchers. The symposium aims to foster collaboration, build capability and spark discussion about the future of health economics in cancer research.
