Tomorrow is #NationalCancerAwarenessDay. This day serves as an important reminder of the progress we’ve made in cancer research, treatment, and patient care, but also the work still left to be done. Raising awareness can lead to early detection, improved treatments, and ultimately more lives saved. Whether through scientific research, regular screenings, community outreach, or simply sharing stories, we all have a role to play in spreading hope and knowledge. Together, we can: · Advocate for better access to care · Support cancer patients and their families · Highlight the importance of early screenings and prevention · Drive continued research and innovation to develop better therapies This National Cancer Awareness Day, we encourage you to join the conversation, educate others, and celebrate the resilience of cancer warriors and their families. #MSHO24 #CancerAwareness #HematologyOncology #CancerResearch #SupportTheFight #TogetherWeCan #OncologyCommunity #CancerCare

Testimonial Tuesdays are not just for sharing survivor stories, but for highlighting why those stories are necessary. Before now, there was a silence around telling people you were a survivor that encouraged the abuse, blame, and stigma around cancer. In Africa, this is still a problem but there's a rise of vocal survivors. We've encountered reluctant persons who have been conflicted after a diagnosis, and we have seen how much a readily available survivor story changed their course of action. Survivor stories or bold stories like we call them have been the foundation of many taking the right step towards survivorship. Cheers to breaking the silence around cancer 🥂 Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) Breast Cancer Survivor Story World Health Organization #BoldStories #SurvivorStories #BreakingTheSilence #TestimonialTuesday

Last month, we hosted a very special day as we were joined by an incredible group of people, each affected by cancer whether personally or through supporting a loved one, to better understand their experiences of navigating cancer. What did they tell us? 👉 There is fragmented cancer information across the web 👉 It can be an overwhelming and lonely space to navigate 👉 Medical jargon can be difficult to understand 👉 It's hard to know which information is trustworthy 👉 Tailormade and specific information is lacking and time consuming to find ...and so much more. Every cancer experience is unique, but when it comes to navigating cancer we believe many of these insights are universal. It's why we are building Cancer Platform - to enable everyone to face cancer, empowered with expert knowledge and truth. If you would like to become a part of our journey, head to the link in our bio and select 'Join Our Mailing List' to receive updates on how you can get involved too. A massive thank you to everyone involved in making this day possible. More content to come. 📹 @Hwmedia #cancernews #cancerawareness #empowerment #hope

#Palliative care must be integrated into primary, secondary, and tertiary care for children, young adults, and adults. It should also be included in all cancer control and care strategies and policies. The European Commission launched the "Innovative palliative care for people with cancer: sustainable solutions for the future" Policy Brief recommendations. It summarises the results of research projects, providing evidence on the value of palliative cancer care and ways of integrating it throughout the cancer care continuum while addressing the inequity of access to it. https://lnkd.in/dMmE6HdG Pal-Cycles show how patient-centred communication and continuity of care, reduce unplanned hospital admissions and improve QoL at the end of life. #Helath4all #PalCycles #PalliativeCare #Globalhealth

Although ~17%-20% of the U.S. population resides in rural areas, only 3% of medical oncologists practice in rural communities, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI). There is an urgent need to improve access to cancer care in these areas. Our ongoing work with American Cancer Society is focused on improving health outcomes in underserved communities, and we’re grateful to advocates like Patrick Dempsey for raising awareness of the need to support patients in rural communities. It shouldn’t matter where you live when you are diagnosed with cancer. Together, we’re working to #CloseTheCareGap and #ChangeTheOdds.
Actor and community advocate Patrick Dempsey spent 17 years by his mother’s side as she lived with cancer. During that time, he noticed the gaps in cancer care, especially in rural areas like his hometown in Maine. Even with improvements in care, the odds of surviving a cancer diagnosis are lower in rural areas of the U.S., where people are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage and less likely to receive treatment than people in cities. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Patrick in support of “Change the Odds,” an initiative with the American Cancer Society to address cancer disparities and improve health outcomes for underserved communities in the U.S. Help us overcome and shine a spotlight on cancer disparities.

Chief Oncology Medical Officer, Pfizer; Striving to Help People with Cancer Live Better and Longer Lives
Despite advances in care, people living in rural areas of the U.S. face significant barriers to accessing cancer screening and are less likely to receive treatment, compared to those living in cities. Together with actor and cancer community advocate Patrick Dempsey and American Cancer Society, we’re shining a spotlight on the impact of cancer in these communities and the barriers they face in getting screened and navigating care. Cancer doesn’t discriminate – and at Pfizer, we believe that cancer care shouldn’t either. Let’s #ChangeTheOdds against cancer.
