New CancerWorld Issue Confronts Cancer Inequities and Spotlights Innovation
CancerWorld shared a post on LinkedIn:
“What does it take to change the odds in Cancer Care?
Innovation? Yes. But also: persistence. Collaboration. And the refusal to accept that some lives matter less because of where they’re born.
The CancerWorld’s issue #103 (May, 2025) is out – and it’s not just about what’s new in oncology, but what’s NECESSARY.
Our dual cover stories frame this mission:
A global call to action:
Arnaud Lallouette (Executive Vice President, Global Medical and Patient Affairs at Servier) introduces ACT for Children, a bold initiative tackling the massive inequities in Childhood Cancer care. When 80% of children with cancer live in low- and middle-income countries – but fewer than 30% survive – access becomes not a dream, but a strategy. One that’s already saving lives.
A personal fight for progress:
Meet Dr. Samvel Danielyan, who quietly built Armenia’s pediatric cancer system from the ground up. No budget. No blueprint. Just belief – and a refusal to give up.
Inside the issue:
- A profile of Professor Martine Piccart – her journey from a Belgian clinic to becoming one of oncology’s most influential voices.
- Why patient-reported outcomes are still underused in drug development – and why that must change.
- A simulation study revealing childhood cancer survivors face accelerated aging – and how we need to rethink survivorship.
- A hidden crisis in Africa: skin cancer and albinism – where sunscreen can mean survival.
- The potential of SGLT2 inhibitors to protect cancer patients’ hearts.
Conversations with global changemakers:
- Adrian Gottschalk, CEO of Foghorn Therapeutics Inc., on leading through humility.
- HE Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, soon-to-be first African president of the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC), on how policy becomes personal.
This issue is more than a magazine. It’s a reckoning – with what we know, and what we still fail to do.
Read the full issue.”
