New research in ACS Journal Cancer led by @americancancer Daniel Wiese & Farhad Islami, MD PhD shows geographic diffusion of digital #mammography in the United States. ACS Research #bcsm @oncoalert acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn…

A new paper co-authored by ACS Research investigators showed that approx 87% of women aged ≥45 yrs in the cont.

A new first-of-its-kind study from @farhadislami and American Cancer Society researchers shows that cancer death rates across US congressional districts have declined over the last 25 years, but regional and racial disparities persist. 🔗 acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn… OncoAlert ACSNews

The disparities in cancer mortality by educational attainment (a marker of socioeconomic status) within each race were far greater than the disparities by race within each educational attainment group, underscoring the dominant role of social determinants of health.

In analyses stratified by #race & metropolitan status, Black-White disparities in overall cancer mortality in ages <65yrs are larger in large metropolitan areas, likely reflecting wider racial disparities in access to or quality of care in those areas. acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3322/ca…

“We need to do much more to further reduce the number of deaths and premature deaths caused by smoking.” Farhad Islami, MD PhD of American Cancer Society discusses the impact #smoking cessation has had on lung cancer. bit.ly/43EcuVI

Reducing smoking through #TobaccoControl has saved millions of lives, but a stronger commitment at the local, state, and federal levels to help further reduce smoking is needed.
