The International Gynecologic Cancer Society started this campaign last year calling on people and organizations all over the world to act and help raise awareness. The support and enthusiasm have been overwhelmingly positive with so many people telling us that they have been waiting years for this movement!The time for waiting is over. Over the past 30 years, uterine cancer cases have increased more than 15% globally, including in North America (45%), Western Europe (49%), Sub-Saharan Africa (46%), Latin America (56%) the Middle East (75%) and South Asia (36%).This year, we intensify the global call to action, drawing attention to the stark disparities in uterine cancer worldwide. In this newly released consensus statement, supported by dozens of patient advocacy groups from all regions of the world, together we communicate the need for advocacy and action.Uterine cancer affects women of all backgrounds, but disparities persist in detecting and treating the disease based on race, ethnicity, income, region, and access to care. We are calling on organizations, individuals, and governments to help find solutions to:Raise public awarenessOvercome barriers to diagnosisImprove access to treatmentSupport survivorsAnd Increase diversity in clinical researchRead StatementThe statement has been translated to several languages which can be accessed below.&nbsp;Special thanks<\/p>\n<div class=\"view-full-post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/igcs.org\/ucam-consensus-statement\/\" class=\"view-full-post-btn\">View Full Post<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4513,"featured_media":68289,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[211],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-member-spotlight"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
