• Beyond the social determinants of health, however, there is increasing concern for the disproportionate effects of the commercial determinants of health, defined as those activities in the private sector that influence social, physical, and cultural environments through business actions and societal engagements, such as supply chains, labour conditions, product design and packaging, research funding, and lobbying. Evidence of climate change combined with ongoing research clearly shows that pollution, erratic weather worldwide, and planetary warming will have substantial effects on humanity and on the ability of health systems to manage the consequences. In November, 2020, Robert Hiatt and Naomi Beyeler published a Review in The Lancet Oncology that outlined the effect of climate change on the disruption of health systems essential to cancer control, how these broader existential issues are inseparable, and that oncology cannot exist in isolation from world events.
