Glad to see this important work out in @CommsMedicine @NaturePortfolio We provide a comprehensive overview of the cancer research funding landscape in Africa with critical calls to action, especially as global funding priorities change. rdcu.be/evjXf @NabeelZafarMD

Many congratulations Segun @OJAfolaranmi getting this important work out. Funding for cancer research is everyone so important!! @AORTIC_AFRICA @NCICancerCtrl @WiscSurgery @UWCarbone #globalonc @globaloncology

Our new @uscbtc study published in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology @JNeurooncol In a national dataset of >3.3M patients, we found: • BSO alone → lower lifetime risk of meningioma • HRT → increased risk • BSO + HRT → highest risk, particularly in women with hormone-driven conditions (fibroids, endometriosis, gynecologic malignancy) Interestingly, patients who developed meningiomas after BSO + HRT were less likely to undergo surgical resection, suggesting these tumors may be more indolent. Important implications for hormonal exposure, risk stratification, and counseling after surgical menopause. Great work by Will Zeng + our USC team.

Thank you Dr. Bi for leading this timely issue- Looking forward to seeing the great contributions in this space! #Neurosurgery #MedTwitter

The data highlight a shift in disease outbreak patterns, with a decline in the number of countries reporting public health events of concern linked to COVID-19 and a rise in those reporting outbreaks of viral diseases transmitted by vectors. Link: gh.bmj.com/content/11/2/e… #bmj
