ABC Global Alliance

This #InternationalWomen’sDay we reflect on the growing inequalities for women with advanced breast cancer. While survival has improved in some regions, our new Decade Report showed that in others, women aren’t getting access to life-extending new treatments. We call on policymakers, regulators, industry and healthcare providers to work together towards the goals of the ABC Global Charter 2025-2035, improving access to best care for all women with ABC. Our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, friends deserve better! abcglobalalliance.org/abc-global-cha…

It’s #WorldCancerDay. Each person with advanced breast cancer (ABC) will have their own unique cancer journey. But 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 with ABC needs equal access to the most effective treatment and support for their unique needs. The new #ABCGlobalCharter provides a roadmap towards people-centred care for ABC in 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 country #UnitedByUnique #2025-2035" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">abcglobalalliance.org/abc-global-cha…

People with advanced/metastatic breast cancer (ABC/MBC) require an understanding of the cancer biology and biomarkers relevant to their diagnosis to participate in shared decision-making with their healthcare team. How familiar are you with biomarkers? 🔗#biomarker-survey" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">abcglobalalliance.org/resources#biom…

📍Systematic data collection and analysis in advanced breast cancer is critically important and provides a foundation for improving patient outcomes, advancing research, and optimizing healthcare delivery. 📍The absence of high-quality registry data meant that the true number of people living with ABC worldwide remained unknown, and reported outcomes likely inaccurate. 🔗abcglobalalliance.org/abc-global-cha…

🧠A diagnosis of brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease (LMD) from breast cancer is devastating for patients, and presents treatment challenges to the clinical team. Research and clinical trials are continuously improving our understanding of brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease (LMD), also known collectively as central nervous system (CNS) metastases. 🌐Our new hub connects you to accurate, up-to-date and understandable resources on this complex topic. All resources have been reviewed and approved by medical experts and patient advocates from the CNS Working Group. Many of them can be viewed or listened to in your own language using our amazing ReciteMe tool. 🔗ow.ly/vy8z50XGWOA

Developments in the advanced breast cancer treatment landscape are enabling people to live longer than ever before. However, longevity alone is not enough: maintaining quality-of-life (QoL) is essential to ensure that people with ABC experience not only more years, but more fulfilling ones. ↘️Despite significant advances in treatments, the QoL of people with ABC slightly declined over the last decade. 🔗Find out more at abcglobalalliance.org/abc-global-cha…

📍The way in which healthcare professionals communicate can have a substantial impact on both patient experience and health outcomes. 📍In advanced breast cancer, communication is particularly challenging due to the disease’s complexity and mostly incurable nature. 📍An individualized and empathic approach to communication can positively influence treatment adherence and shared decision-making (SDM), support identification of patients’ needs, and improve outcomes. 🔗Find out more at abcglobalalliance.org/abc-global-cha…

👉Research and clinical trials have transformed care. ⚠️Demystifying clinical trials starts with honest, clear communication. 🚨Patients from all backgrounds are needed so treatments work for everyone. #SABCS25 #ABCF @mbcalliance #FatimaCardoso #MarianaChávezMacGregor @TPollastro #KirstinSpencer #AbigailJohnston
