Wafik S. El-Deiry, Director of Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University and Chair of the WIN Consortium in Cancer Personalized Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“An inspiring opening session at the 18th BGIICC with focus on the challenges of equity in cancer care around the world including in Africa.
Panelists spoke about commitments by global societies to achieve much with little. To set the tone, the session started with a video highlighting that “cancer has no borders” and “when she suffers the world suffers.”
Past-President of American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Lynn Schuchter commented on how biosimilars and subcutaneous administration of therapeutic agents such as immunotherapy are reducing costs and reducing barriers to cancer care globally.
The spirit of international collaboration is palpable at this meeting and it is an honor to be here representing the WIN Consortium in cancer personalized medicine and The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University Legorreta Cancer Center.”
