Today, on World Cancer Day, we are proud to release a special video featuring a powerful collection of voices, each sharing their unique perspective on cancer care. This year’s theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that while every cancer diagnosis is different, the fight against cancer unites us all.
At All.Can, we are committed to improving cancer care efficiency, ensuring that every patient receives timely, effective, and person-centred care. True efficiency in cancer care is not just about resources and treatments—it’s about fostering trust, inclusivity, and patient-centred solutions that recognize the unique needs of every individual.
Our video brings together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who offer firsthand insights into what it means to navigate cancer care. Their stories highlight the challenges of inefficiency, communication gaps, and the urgent need for more patient-focused approaches.
- Enric Barba shares his journey as a survivor of multiple cancers, emphasizing how efficient cancer care saved his life. He also highlights the importance of collaboration between healthcare teams to ensure that the best treatment combinations are used.
- Ivaylo Petrov opens up about his wife’s ongoing breast cancer treatment and how fragmented communication left him feeling lost in the system. His story reminds us that trust is built when care teams communicate clearly and work together seamlessly.
- Paula Holmes Rodman reflects on her experience as a caregiver for her sister Lindsay, who faced unique challenges in navigating her late-stage ovarian cancer diagnosis. She highlights the need for cancer care to be appropriate, personalized, and accessible for all.
- Kofi Adesi Kyei shares his perspective as a radiation therapist and advocate, discussing the cultural barriers in Africa that impact cancer treatment, where many patients delay or refuse care due to deeply rooted beliefs. His insights highlight the need for culturally competent care and patient education.
The voices in this video reinforce a crucial message: Efficient cancer care is not just about medical advancements—it’s about ensuring that patients are informed, supported, and treated with dignity and respect.
- Better communication between medical teams and patients to improve trust and understanding
- Timely and accessible treatments tailored to individual needs

At All.Can, we believe that efficiency in cancer care means putting patients first. By listening to real experiences and acting on them, we can work towards a system that is not only effective but also compassionate, inclusive, and patient-driven.
