🚀 You're Invited: Breakthrough Breakfast: Pioneering Possibilities in Cancer Research! On June 18th, I will be attending Dalhousie's Faculty of Medicine's Breakthrough Breakfast: Pioneering Possibilities in Cancer Research. This event promises to be an exciting look at the ongoing battle against cancer, highlighting the incredible research advancements being made in the field - right here in Nova Scotia. The highly personalized form of immunotherapy called CAR-T therapy that is happening in our own backyard is not just changing lives, but is redefining the future of cancer treatment. The fact that blood cancers, and one day solid tumours, can be treated with fewer side-effects than other therapies is a game-changer for cancer patients. Every breakthrough brings us one step closer to more effective treatments and, ultimately, cures. Events like this provide invaluable opportunities to learn, share, and support the remarkable efforts of researchers and medical professionals at Dal's Faculty of Medicine. I'm proud to be part of this exciting work - even if it's just helping spread the word about it! I look forward to attending and hope to see you there! #CancerResearch #CAR_Therapy #MedicalInnovation #DalhousieMedicine #BreakthroughBreakfast #FutureOfMedicine #HealthcareInnovation

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, and today, the American Cancer Society released our biennial update on breast cancer occurrence and trends in the US. The new report finds that more than 300,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year alone. And, breast cancer rates continue to rise at a faster pace in women younger than 50 years of age, compared to those 50 or older. I couldn't be prouder to be part of an organization that is committed to providing and expanding access to critical resources and research for all. View the full Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2024 report at cancer.org/breast-cff-2024 and learn how you can involved in your local Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event https://lnkd.in/eN5dbwYg.
Just published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians! A new report from American Cancer Society shows #BreastCancer rates continue to rise at a faster pace in women younger than 50 years compared to those 50 or older. “The encouraging news is breast cancer mortality rates continue to decrease thanks to advances in early detection and treatment,” said Angela Giaquinto, associate scientist, cancer surveillance research at the American Cancer Society and lead author of the study. “But future progress may be thwarted by increasing incidence, especially among younger women, and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as delayed diagnosis due to interruptions in screening.” Find the full statistics article for free below: 👉https://lnkd.in/eB5AuGCe Hyuna Sung Rachel Freedman, MD, MPH Robert Smith Jessica Star Ahmedin Jemal Rebecca Siegel #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #BCSM #BreastCancerResearch #BreastCancerStatistics

Close to having the final op-eds completed for the Resolve Global Health Childhood Cancer Special Report series, which Amgen is pleased to support. In this piece, Dr Ramandeep Arora highlights not only the research gap for childhood cancer in LMICs, but also the implementation gap after successful clinical research - when various diagnostic or treatment modalities that are evident in HICs (and important for the management of those therapeutic areas) are lacking in LMICs. The importance of a comprehensive, system-wide approach to childhood cancer care is one of the most important ways to achieve the aspirations of the World Health Organization Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer. Targeting any one aspect without consideration of the aspects which come before or after it will lead to suboptimal outcomes. #childhoodcancer #cancercare #LMICs #healthoutcomes https://lnkd.in/eKEXvFZe

Experienced Senior Public Health Specialist and Research Fellow passionate about bridging the research-policy gap, leading solution-focused research and transformative system change to reduce inequities.
📢 I am happy to share our new #publication led by Prof Katriina Whitaker and Dr Anna Cox We present examples of best practices and guidance for using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to reduce inequities in cancer care and cancer outcomes. Key takeaways: 🚨 Innovations may further exacerbate inequities in cancer care and outcomes if these have not considered and mitigated factors driving inequities before their development and throughout the research and project life cycles. 📑 CFIR plays a crucial role in helping researchers maximise the effectiveness of innovations. It provides a robust framework to anticipate and address barriers to developing, implementing, and evaluating innovations in cancer care.
