The new Lancet Commission on Breast Cancer today released findings and recommendations on improving breast cancer care globally.
Apr 16 2024ABC Global Alliance Over the past two years, the international multidisciplinary group of experts, including Dr Fatima Cardoso, president of the Advanced Breast Cancer Global Alliance, has worked to transform the breast cancer care landscape. Supported and funded in part by the ABC Global Alliance, the commission has led debate around key issues, supported pilot studies, culminating it its landmark report advocating for six crucial areas for change.
Patients living with metastatic/advanced breast cancer have long suffered from stigma, misconceptions, and abandonment not just from society in general but also from healthcare providers and patient advocacy groups. There is an urgent need for change in the way metastatic breast cancer is understood and managed. With this change, it will be possible to treat most, alleviate suffering for all, and forget no-one living with MBC/ABC.
The report also stresses the importance of improving communication with patients, stating all healthcare professionals in the world should receive training in communication skills to allow them to better involve patients in all stages of cancer care. The new Lancet Commission on Breast Cancer started to work in 2021 with the commitment to raise the standard of breast cancer care and to close the equity gap that exists between and within countries. The recommendations to face the urgent challenges for breast cancer patients will be released this Tuesday, April 16, at 2 pm, in an online session.
