Carolyn Taylor: Honored to have my photography and the work of GFC featured in The Lancet Oncology

Carolyn Taylor, Founder and Executive Director of Global Focus on Cancer, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Honored to have my photography and the work of Global Focus on Cancer (GFC) featured in The Lancet Oncology this month. The covers for the rest of the year will also include my photos, reflecting the global face of cancer and the deeply human stories behind it.

This work would not be possible without the incredible individuals who trusted me with their stories—people living with and impacted by cancer from around the world. Their resilience, strength, and openness inspire me every day, and it’s a privilege to share their voices.

Thank you to David Collingridge and the team at The Lancet Group for providing a platform to highlight these stories and advocate for a more person-centered approach to cancer care.”
