Short spiel on incredible inequities in cervical cancer worldwide and need for real data to support the cervical cancer elimination effort #CervicalCancer #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth IARC GICR at IARC youtu.be/4Yz8cyO0--s via YouTube

New paper with my colleague Cory Trevor describing the diverse international patterns and trends in the incidence of lip, mouth and tongue cancers, and their potential for prevention. - PubMed - NCBI ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31986342 IARC

Great to see this open access paper coming out showing the potential impact of HPV vaccination and cervical screening on cervical cancer incidence in LMIC, using the IARC GLOBOCAN estimates as baseline. #CervicalCancer #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth thelancet.com/journals/lance…

As it states: “There is an overwhelming need to strengthen population-based cancer surveillance in many LMICs to improve the accuracy of GLOBOCAN estimates, to inform local cancer control strategies, and to monitor whether elimination targets are being met.” IARC GICR at IARC

New study from the ICBP SURVMARK-2 team reporting variations in ovarian cancer survival by stage, with the greatest differences seen in the oldest patients with advanced disease. gynecologiconcology-online.net/article/S0090-… #ovariancancer IARC

New paper showing high-quality data is lacking for Indigenous peoples in many countries around the world. Cancer registries, under the guidance and leadership of the Indigenous community, need to be developed and strengthened. IARC GICR at IARC ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.120…

Privileged that IARC is part of the 2nd National Cancer Control Workshop in Nairobi with WHO and AFCRN to discuss how existing population-based cancer registries can be strengthened and new registries established in Kenya to support the NCCP GICR at IARC IARC

A pleasure to participate in the National Workshop on Cancer Registration in Kadomo today. Key information on principles & methods of registration in Zimbabwe. Thanks to Eric & Margaret for letting Maggie & myself present our global programmes. GICR at IARC IARC #Data4Health

Blended learning and testing in #Zimbabwe of the “Uses of Registry Data for Cancer Control” module, one of 15 covering all aspects of cancer registration that are part of the GICR at IARC #elearning series - available on the IARC website soon! #Data4Health

(Finally) at the Zimbabwe National Cancer Registry in Harare, a PBCR providing high quality cancer incidence since 1985. Thanks Eric, Margaret & the team for fruitful conversations on future work & of course the wonderful company - we'll be back! GICR at IARC IARC #Data4Health

The Scientific Advisory Board to the Danish Cancer Society Research Center met in Copenhagen over the last two days. Thanks to Mads Melbye and the whole team! Kræftens Bekæmpelse IARC

Three new GICR at IARC Collaborating Centres established in #CôtedIvoire, #Kenya, & #SouthAfrica! Centres will provide accurate data & explore risk factors for #cancers in #Africa so policies are more relevant to context & more likely to achieve their goals iarc.who.int/news-events/ia…

Great meeting of the African Network of Cancer Registries (AFCRN) over the last 5 days in Addis Ababa. Challenges of course but registries represent a highly collaborative group driving cancer research and informing cancer control in SSA GICR at IARC #AFCRN IARC #Data4Health
