A new study provides the first estimates of the global number of maternal orphans due to cancer. "In 2020, 4.4 million women died from cancer worldwide. We estimated that these deaths led to 1.04 million new orphans." - Valerie McCormack, IARC. #WCC2022

On UNICEF #WorldChildrensDay IARC 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. rdcu.be/cZ25H

3/3 Q and challenge to all !! What other critical measures of the cancer burden and cancer's impact should the global cancer research community be highlighting and quantifying?

Over 1 million children became maternal orphans, in 2020 alone. Read the new study on the intergenerational consequences of maternal cancer mortality, presented at the #WorldCancerCongress. #WCC2022 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Today is #WorldCancerDay Each year, 1 million children lose their mother to #cancer. 💔 Cancer can trigger generational hardship & perpetuate cycles of poverty. #CloseTheCareGap in cancer ⬇️

New video📺 to mark #RareDiseaseDay! Rare #cancers are #cancer types with <6 newly diagnosed cases per 100 000 people per year. While individually rare, these cancer types combine to account for ~25–30% of all cancer diagnoses & 25% of cancer deaths. youtu.be/B43zEdjLaC4

Women make up 70% of the health workforce globally, incl. 90% of all nurses, BUT 👩🏻‍⚕️ They occupy only 25% of global health leadership roles 👩🏻‍⚕️ On average earn 25% less than their male colleagues We must address the root causes of disparities in women’s and girl’s health

Priorities for #Cancer #prevention in the next years : reduce cancer deaths, improve a smoother translation from research into prevention action policy, focus on achievable goals and cancer whose pronostic didn't improve in a long time. IARC inauguration's ceremony.
