Don S. Dizon: Addressing Global Equity in Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutics at the UN Meeting

Don S. Dizon, Jane F. Desforges Chair in Hematology and Oncology at Tufts University and Editor in Chief at CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians at American Cancer Society, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Invited to address a multi-stakeholder meeting UN to bring equity in the global access to cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. I was able to make a few points:

  • Access to treatments is paramount. Innovative diagnostics that can help patients get the right treatment requires it.
  • AI is only as good as the data we feed it. Expanded collaboration in the development of biomarkers is essential to ensure we can better take in to account biology at a global scale.
  • We must communicate about cancer in a culturally informed way and in language everyone understands.
  • Patient care must be centered on the person.”
