Wafaa M Rashed Highlights Article on Cancer Screenings Guidelines by Randiga Harnes

Wafaa M Rashed, Faculty Lecturer of Pharmacy at the Ahram Canadian University, shared Randiga Harnes‘s post on LinkedIn, adding:

“Excellent and timely article, Randiga Harnes. Your reflection on President Biden’s diagnosis and the implications of rigid screening guidelines brings much-needed attention to the evolving role of personalized medicine in cancer care. This is precisely the kind of perspective we aim to foster in the ‘Policy Advocacy in Genetics and Genomics’ course.

Your integration of genomic tools such as molecular classifiers and risk stratification exemplifies how advances in genetics should inform policy—especially in regions like Africa where such considerations are often overlooked.

As our populations age and life expectancy increases, it’s critical that our policies shift from age-based cut-offs to individualized, evidence-based approaches that respect both patient data and dignity.

Thank you for contributing to this important conversation and continuing to advocate for smarter, inclusive health policies grounded in genomics.”

Quoting Randiga Harnes‘s post:

“Biden’s cancer diagnosis exposed to many the reality of today’s world.

The world is getting older. People are living longer. The guidelines for prostate cancer screening may have to change to face head-on the ever increasing risk of clinically significant prostate cancer as men age.”
