MEP Vlad Voiculescu takes the stage at the #EuropeanCancerSummit to share powerful insights on how collaborative efforts and policy innovation are reshaping cancer research across Europe. 🔬 His perspective highlights the impact of those networks, including our Research Policy Network. 💬 'Policy should be evidence-based, something that is not being discussed properly right now. Since yesterday, we have a Health Commissioner that believes in science, in continuity with the previous one. But this is not always the case for all politicians, and we need to change the trend. We can take action now, through those instruments that we already have a European level, such as European Reference Networks or the Joint Actions' Find out more 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e4UAvpWN

We are thrilled to start a new chapter! Today, we’re announcing the reorganization and renaming of our Center. The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) is now the Center for Cancer Health Equity (CCHE). You'll see our new name here on LinkedIn soon.    This is more than just a name change. The new name represents the lens through which we view our work. Our efforts are not only to shine a light on disparities but, rather, are geared toward leveling these disparities while simultaneously achieving health equity.    To learn more about guiding factors that led to this exciting new chapter, our mission, four branches, and more, read our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/edddjMCi

🌍 Transforming Cancer Care in Latin America 🌍 At the Bloomberg New Economy at B20 in São Paulo, the Bloomberg New Economy #InternationalCancerCoalition hosted its first Latin American meeting, spotlighting the power of digital innovation and global collaboration to revolutionize cancer care. The gathering emphasized the urgent need to bridge gaps in healthcare for underserved communities, with leaders outlining bold strategies to drive equity and innovation. From the introduction of a decentralized clinical trial model to the launch of a regional task force, the Coalition is laying the groundwork for lasting change.

I’m incredibly excited to share the launch of CancerIQ Reach, a new solution that’s so close to my heart because of the impact it can have on real lives. Here’s what makes it so special: CancerIQ Reach helps health systems find and engage patients at high risk for cancer—before they even step into a clinic. By delivering targeted outreach and personalized care pathways, we’re helping patients take control of their health while enabling health systems to detect risks earlier and prevent late-stage diagnoses. What’s amazing about it? -We’ve seen stories like Nebraska Medicine’s, where a focused campaign led to a 270% increase in low-dose lung CTs scheduled. -Or how simple, personalized outreach resulted in a 6X increase in preventive screenings—helping catch issues before they became bigger problems. For me, it’s exciting to see how this kind of innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about helping people, supporting families, and creating healthier communities.

Read these Key Takeaways from the event: Investing in Cancer Prevention and Control in Low-and Middle-Income Countries including Small Island Developing States: A Strategic Multi-Country Dialogue. Hosted by The Commonwealth #CancerPrevention #GlobalHealth #EquityInHealth #LGCW2024

I am a great believer in the power of science and the impact it can have on improving healthcare. However, what I believe to be as, if not more important, is how scientific breakthroughs in healthcare are applied to different geographies and cultures so that it can have its maximum impact. Every year, over 604,000 women worldwide are diagnosed with cervical cancer and approximately 342,000 die from this largely preventable disease, caused by infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Today is #HPVAwarenessDay, a crucial time to confront the issue of cervical cancer. The overwhelming majority – 9 out of 10 women – who die from cervical cancer live in low- and middle-income countries. Early detection is pivotal to the reduction of cervical cancer risk, but something we don’t talk about enough is the barriers to sample collections such as embarrassment, cultural influences and negative prior experiences. Self-collection gives control back to a woman without the need for an examination. I am so proud to be a small part of advancing access to more inclusive forms of healthcare. This case study by Roche and BBC StoryWorks is a prime example of when science and societal and cultural understanding come together to make a real impact. #HPV #HPVAwarenessDay #ValueofDiagnostics #HealthcareForAll

🚀 Webinar Update: The Power of Community-led efforts in #CancerMission! The session is in full swing! Marius Geanta, MD, the Coordinator of the 4PCAN Project, has just shared inspiring examples of how rural communities can lead cancer primary prevention and adhere to preventive measures. One standout moment was learning how the local football team, motivated by our initiatives, began promoting the project across the county during their matches (see picture in comments for more). By identifying local stakeholders and engaging with communities on health topics that resonate with them, pinpointed through precise personal network analysis, we can tailor our prevention strategies more effectively. These methods align seamlessly with the European Code Against Cancer, emphasizing the vital role of community-led efforts in combating cancer. Join us and dive more into the transformative insights from the 4P-CAN Romanian Living-lab! 📢 During Today’s Event: Launch of our Cancer Thematic Innovation Ecosystem with ECHAlliance, join the global experts as we explore: 🍏 Tackling barriers to Cancer Primary Prevention and encouraging healthy behaviors across Europe, America, and Africa! 🗺 Confronting unique challenges to cancer prevention in Europe, Latin America, Nigeria, and Turkey! 🩺 Unveiling innovative solutions for cancer screening and early diagnosis! #CancerPrevention #PublicHealth #Innovation #GlobalHealth #ECHAlliance #CancerMissionWorks #CancerPreventionEU
