Mashup Score: 30Common Sense Oncology – Outcomes That Matter - 2 day(s) ago
Oncology needs a recalibrated approach that is more patient centred and prioritizes equitable cancer care. Our approach prioritizes patients’ needs, advocates for treatments that improve survival and quality-of-life, promotes informed decision making, and ensures these treatments are accessible to all patients.

Mashup Score: 25Sex and authorship in global cancer research - 9 day(s) ago
Introduction Research is an essential pillar of cancer control and key in shaping regional cancer control agendas. Imbalances in science and technology in terms of lack of female participation have been well documented. However, there is little evidence about country-level female participation in cancer research. Methodology Through a complex filter, cancer research papers were identified and grouped by countries and sex of the first and last authors of each paper and analysed by the percentage of females in these positions alongside other parameters. Results Our analysis of 56 countries’ outputs, in 2009, revealed that females were the first authors in 37.2% and last authors in 23.3% of papers. In 2019, females were the first author in 41.6% and last author in 29.4% of papers. Females increased as first authors by 26%, and as last authors by 12% between these two time periods. The top performing countries in terms female/male parity for first or last authorship were in Eastern and Sou

Mashup Score: 2Wave of new commitments marks historic step towards the elimination of cervical cancer - 2 month(s) ago
Governments, donors, multilateral institutions, and partners today announced major new policy, programmatic and financial commitments, including nearly US$ 600 million in new funding, to eliminate cervical cancer. If these ambitions to expand vaccine coverage and strengthen screening and treatment programs are fully realized, the world could eliminate a cancer for the first time.
