It is time to take cancer more seriously. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
America's reckoning. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
Stella Kyriakides, Europe’s Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, talks about her own experiences with breast cancer. She describes Europe’s cancer plan as an opportunity to improve equity of care across the continent.
Mareike Thompson: By improving communication and empowerment for women with breast cancer, some of the wider barriers and obstacles for women in society can be addressed.
Felicia Knaul emphasises that the intangible costs of breast cancer - suffering and pain - must be measured, understood, and acted upon.
Miriam Mutebi points out that 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low/middle income countries, while those same countries receive only 5% of global cancer resources.
Maya Bienz explains how people with metastatic breast cancer are unseen, abandoned, and stigmatised.
Stuart McIntosh stresses that research leadership in breast cancer must be global: with 70% of those with breast cancer being in low/middle income countries by 2030, equity in research is a priority.
Wanda Cui presents evidence to show that 25% of breast cancers in high-income countries could be prevented.
Lesley Stephen describes her experience with metastatic breast cancer. The Commission makes the case for curing some, treating most, alleviating suffering of all, and abandoning no one.
Hilary Stobart is a patient advocate who describes how she had her breast cancer diagnosed 14 years ago. She emphasises the importance of prevention.
Breast cancer: there has been unequal progress; there are hidden costs and sufferings; those with metastatic cancer are a forgotten group; and communication is key.
Jessamy Bagenal was our editor who led for The Lancet: she discusses the Commission in the context of her own family history of breast cancer. We need to prioritise stories like Jessamy’s to understand why we must take cancer more seriously.
Charlotte Coles, who chaired our Lancet Commission on Breast Cancer, launches her report in Cambridge today.
Tony Fauci spoke at the Royal Society last night. Here are his lessons common to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19. There are others I think.
Much of the media coverage about today’s Lancet Commission on Breast Cancer focuses on prevention. That’s fine, but another key message focuses on metastatic breast cancer, a condition that is commonly ignored and stigmatised. Nobody with metastatic cancer should be abandoned.

"A potential full-fledged military incursion into Rafah, where some 1.5 mln Palestinians are packed against Egyptian border with nowhere further to flee, is terrifying, given the prospect that an extremely high number of civilians will likely be killed & injured." - @volker_turk
Rafah is one of the most densely populated places on earth, teeming with children & families, some already displaced many times by war in Gaza. Some 1.3M civilians are pushed into a corner, living on streets or shelters. They must be protected. They have nowhere safe to go.
