My 2nd World Cancer Day post to highlight work of the Common Sense Oncology team. This new publication identifies key principles for randomized trials of new cancer Rx aimed at improving outcomes that matter most to patients www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

on World Cancer Day it’s important to underscore the HUGE impact academic cancer trials groups e.g @cctg.bsky.social and @eortc.bsky.social have had on improving outcomes. Their studies of new drugs, radiation, surgery & supportive care all have contributed. Pharma is only part of the story.

Fascinating paper on how different races/ethnicities respond differently to anticancer therapies - such an important thing to understand for personalised medicine #CancerResearch aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

Urgent action is needed to scale-up cancer prevention and care services. Cancer registries can play a crucial role in this. Ahead of #WorldCancerDay, our Editorial explores the benefits and challenges of cancer registries in global cancer care: tinyurl.com/ywpr6e37
