Emad Shash, Leading Cancer Researcher and Director at National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, shared a post by The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) on LinkedIn, adding:
“It’s a privilege to have our study being featured by The Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC).
We hope that we can enhance our patients journey.”
Quoting MASCC‘s post:
“New open-access article in Supportive Care in Cancer: Mapping cancer patient online support groups: enhancing patient care in a low-middle income healthcare system
In Egypt, patient support groups remain undervalued and lack comprehensive visibility. This study aimed to address this gap by mapping patient online support groups in Egypt, particularly on Facebook, categorizing them, and highlighting their importance in supporting patients and caregivers.”

MASCC featured a study co-authored by Emad Shash on mapping cancer support groups in Egypt.
The research team mapped and categorized Facebook-based patient groups to address the lack of visibility and recognition for these communities in Egypt’s healthcare system. The findings highlight the vital role these groups play in supporting cancer patients and caregivers, especially in low- and middle-income settings where formal support structures may be limited.
