Abstract
In this new interview, discover how gender inequalities deeply impact the field of oncology and the fight against cancer through our conversation with Dr. Ophira Ginsburg, Co-Chair of the Lancet Commission on Women, Power, and Cancer. In this video, we delve into the challenges and solutions proposed by this pioneering commission, which aims to redefine the global approach to cancer research and treatment through a gender lens.
We will explore fundamental topics such as the distinction between sex and gender in cancer research, the importance of disaggregated data to uncover and address disparities in cancer care, and how prevailing power structures exacerbate these inequalities. Dr. Ginsburg highlights the importance of adopting an inclusive and gender-sensitive approach in health policies to combat the systemic toxicity that disproportionately affects women with cancer.
Additionally, we will discuss the commission's priority actions and strategic recommendations to eliminate gender gaps in the oncology field, emphasizing the urgency of integrating a gender perspective into all policies and guidelines related to cancer.
This dialogue not only sheds light on the complexities of gender inequalities in oncology but also seeks to inspire the global community to take transformative actions that promote equity and inclusion in cancer care.
Join us on this revealing and transformative journey, where a deep understanding of gender disparities in cancer is just the beginning of a path toward solutions that promise justice, equity, and care for all.
