Next-generation genomic sequencing (NGS) is used in #CLL/SLL and other #cancers to help inform which cancer treatment may be best for the individual. This recent study found the positive news that the use of NGS is increasing for those of minority descent. https://bit.ly/3TRXs7I

Happy #WorldCancerDay! Today we recognize all those living with the rare and incurable cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). World Cancer Day is a time to raise awareness of the inequities that persist in cancer care. CLL Society has always been a proponent that all patients with CLL/SLL deserve to receive the best possible care for their cancer no matter where they live or what circumstances they face. #CloseTheCareGap ...

February 4th is #WorldCancerDay Millions of people around the world often suffer and die unnecessarily due to a lack of awareness, resources and access to affordable and quality #cancer services.

The cancer care gap is not inevitable. Our systems can be reimagined, a person’s situation can be improved, their knowledge about cancer can be increased and their access to services made easier.

Collectively, we can reduce inequity by:

➡educating the public about cancer prevention as well as the signs and symptoms of cancers without screening protocols

➡equipping healthcare professionals with skills and knowledge including about how inequity influences cancer care

➡strengthening primary health care delivered in communities;

➡addressing through policy and programmes some of the social and economic factors that can negatively affect people’s health;

➡increasing the resources – meaning both money and people – dedicated to cancer research, and tracking the burden of cancer nationally to more effectively shape our investments;

➡implementing country-specific cancer prevention and control plans that address each country’s unique needs and resources.

➡accurately represent the current voices and values of patients and their caregivers when we work with healthcare professionals, researchers, industry and others.
