🛠️ Building a Framework to Tackle Cancer Disparities in Europe Denis Horgan, Executive Director of the European Alliance for Personalized Medicine, shared key insights at the BEACON CANCER CARE Meeting in Warsaw on creating a cohesive framework to address cancer disparities across Europe. He emphasized the importance of aligning various regulatory frameworks, such as the European Health Data Space and the Clinical Trials Regulation, to improve patient care and ensure that diagnostics, treatments, and care delivery are accessible to all patients, regardless of their location. 🎥https://lnkd.in/dbZgBw7z #PersonalizedMedicine #CancerCare #HealthcareRegulation #BEACON2024 #EU4Health #EUCancerPlan Roberto Grasso Denis Horgan, Ph.D Beata Jagielska Prof. Iwona Lugowska, MD, PhD Marc Van den Bulcke Tit Albreht Philip Gribbon Anton Ussi Benjamin Gannon Salvatore Provenzano Alejandro Piris Giménez Pawel Sobczuk Anabela Isidro Hugo R.

Myeloma is a type of blood cancer that impacts the bone marrow's plasma cells. By raising awareness, we can assist sufferers, advance knowledge, and promote studies for more potent treatments. 💚 Together, we can combat myeloma, speak up for people impacted, and inspire hope for a cure and improved therapies in the future. We can change things if we work together. #EndBloodCancer #FightMyeloma #MyelomaWarriors #SupportForACure #HopeForMyeloma #MyelomaAwareness #TogetherWeCan #BloodCancerAwareness #HelpForMyelomaPatients #UniteForACure #BloodCancer World Health OrganizationCancer Research UK (CRUK)UNICEF UNESG Social Foundation Institute UNESCO

Goal 3.4 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals is to "reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being" by 2030. Cancer, a non-communicable disease, affects people all over the world. And there are major inequalities when it comes to treatment access, depending on where you live. At the ICR's Centre for Global Oncology, Dr. Anguraj Sadanandam, Ph.D. and colleagues are working to connect researchers all over the world so that we can better tackle worldwide disparities in cancer outcomes.

📣 We are excited to share our latest study titled “Patients’ perspectives on cancer care disparities in Central and Eastern European countries: experiencing taboos, misinformation, and barriers in the healthcare system.” This research delves into the experiences of cancer patients in Slovakia and Croatia, shedding light on the disparities and challenges they face in accessing comprehensive cancer care. Through focus group discussions, we've identified key barriers, such as lack of information, cultural taboos, and socioeconomic impacts, that need urgent attention. Our findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and better resource allocation to promote inclusive healthcare across Central and Eastern Europe. 🔗 Read the paper 👉 https://lnkd.in/dZjx6rDT #CancerCare #HealthcareInnovation #BEACONProject #EU4Health #EUCancerPlan #CancerDisparities

🔬 We need to do research today to find tomorrow’s solutions. Colorectal cancer cases are on the rise, particularly after the age of 50, but we’re also seeing an alarming increase among younger individuals. Early detection is critical to improving survival rates and preventing the onset of cancer. That’s where the FLAME project comes in. By utilizing advanced technologies, FLAME detects inflammation and dysbiosis in the colon through non-invasive blood and stool samples. This is crucial, as having the right tools to catch the "flame" early—much like spotting the heat of a match before it burns your finger—can lead to timely interventions. More sensitive and specific tests are needed to identify pre-lesions that could be addressed through lifestyle changes or further analyzed for deeper insights. Let’s push forward in our research to create these life-saving solutions. Patient samples were collected successfully and the first batch of samples were fully analysed. Other project proposals are submitted aiming to implement research in the community. Keep tuned. The FLAME project is financed by ALIVE Foundation through the Research and Innovation Development Trust at the University of Malta. #CancerResearch #ColorectalCancer #EarlyDetection #FLAMEProject #HealthcareInnovation #PreventiveMedicine

Part 3️⃣ of the Series: Insights from BEACON 🔎👀: Understanding Reasons for Cancer Disparities in Italy: A Qualitative Study of Barriers and Needs of Cancer Patients and Healthcare Providers BEACON’s study shines a light on the persistent challenges in delivering equitable cancer care across Italy. Despite significant progress in medical research, major inequalities continue to affect underserved communities. The study, based on focus group discussions with cancer patients and healthcare providers, identifies critical barriers such as geographical disparities, financial burdens, and inadequate information. Both patients and providers stress the need for enhanced psycho-oncological support and stronger specialist networks. The findings highlight the urgency of developing inclusive healthcare strategies to bridge these gaps and ensure comprehensive care for all patients. 🔗 Explore the publication: https://lnkd.in/dyMr7c7T Giulia Ferraris, PhD Veronica Coppini, Maria Vittoria Ferrari, Dario Monzani, Roberto Grasso, Gabriella Pravettoni #CancerCare #HealthcareDisparities #Italy #BEACONProject #PatientCare

Have you wondered how cancer will impact people in Canada in 2024?   Working in collaboration with Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada | Agence de la santé publique du Canada, a new study outlines the 2024 projected estimates of cancer in Canada.   As we look to continue funding the most promising cancer research, advocate for health-protecting policies and provide trusted information, it is crucial that reliable surveillance information remains available, so we can identify where more resources are needed.   To learn more about how cancer is expected to impact Canadians this year, visit this link: https://lnkd.in/dqPTbqni #CancerStats #CancerInCanada
