On @UNICEF #WorldChildrensDay @IARCWHO estimates there were 7 million maternal orphans due to cancer and 1 million children newly maternally orphaned in 2020. Many of the contributing ♀️ cancer deaths are preventable. https://t.co/JetvtjPlPt

1/3 This important work is thanks to all who provided funds @NCIGlobalHealth, ideas and insights from the ground, i.e. from LMICs where the realities of maternal orphans due to cancer faced everyday. Thanks @OphiraG @raymailhotvega @KILELE_Health @FreddieBray_ @salvax99

Journée internationale, semaine bleue... les personnes âgées, ou les vieux (dont je suis) comme le dit si justement Véronique Fournier, sont évoqués une fois par an. Mais une réflexion en profondeur sur leur place dans la société toujours absente. Dommage! https://t.co/T4ttekusXN

Very interesting video of @N_Murphy, in a very popular French media, about cancers in young adults ! 👏

Social inequalities affect us all. Dr @salvax99 studies how inequalities impact #cancer incidence & mortality & how addressing socioeconomic inequalities at all ages is important for cancer control.

The opportunity to benefit from #cancer screening is not always equitable across groups. Dr @hilaryarobbins studies lung cancer risk across diverse populations to help ensure that no group is left behind.
