Health Analytics Community Monthly Meeting - Nov 27, 2025 2:00-3:00 PM EST

The Health Analytics Community is pleased to host the Decision Support Team from the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) on Thursday November 27 2025 @ 2:00-3:00 PM EST.

Their presentation introduces OncoSim, Canada’s national cancer simulation modelling tool, developed in partnership with Statistics Canada, funded by Health Canada, and led by CPAC. The session will explore OncoSim’s evolution and how model assumptions and methodologies are continuously updated to ensure validity and real-world relevance with respect to the Canadian population. The team will demonstrate how OncoSim drives cancer system impact through supporting implementers, decision makers and healthcare providers in evidence-based planning, economic evaluations, and health system forecasting. Attendees will gain insights into the tool’s validation approach, recent projects, and future opportunities to enhance cancer control through data-driven modelling.
