Zaria Cancer Consortium

A great Pleasure to Present our paper on Management of patients with Advanced #ProstateCancer : A Report from #APCCC24 LINK TO ARTICLE👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The 2024 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) highlights significant advances in prostate cancer management while underscoring areas where high-quality evidence is still lacking. The conference gathered expert opinions on controversial clinical issues, particularly in advanced prostate cancer, offering guidance in cases where guidelines are unclear or conflicting. The report emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, considering patient-specific factors and evolving clinical data, and stresses the importance of ongoing clinical trials to fill knowledge gaps. It provides a practical framework for physicians and patients to engage in shared decision-making, especially in complex cases of high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer.

Improving access, education, and collaboration is crucial to address these challenges and better cancer overall survival rates from prostate cancer among Black men globally.

September prostate cancer awareness! Black men face a higher incidence & mortality rate of prostate cancer due to in part disease-associated genetic variants, limited access to healthcare infrastructure, medicine, and technologies, and cultural barriers... @BIOVentures @CaPTC7

Together we can change the narrative.

In a large cohort of pts with GI cancers screened for #financialtoxicity & health related social risks, over HALF were identified to have significant financial burdens & over ONE FOURTH had an unmet essential need. Dr @KaitlynLapen presented yesterday afternoon #ASCO24

Pts with #breastcancer report good provider communication skills overall... But side effect profiles are not always well-explained. This matters bc pts who reported poor communication were 64% less likely to take all recommended #bcsm care #ASCO24: tweetorial coming later!

When trial results make you tear up - because our young patients with EGFR unresectable stage III lung cancer. #ASCO24 @RamalingamMD @EGFRResisters @DFEGFRcenter @OncogeneCancer @YoungLungCancer

Second practice changing trial of the day: ADRIATIC Durva consolidation vs plb after cCRT in LS-SCLC. Dual P. endpoints OS/PFS meet (3-y FUP): 24 mo OS gain (median 55.9 vs 33.4, HR 0.73) and 24% reduction in the risk of PFS/death (median 16.6 vs 9.2 mo, HR 0.76) #ASCO24 #LCSM

🔥PLENARY Session #ASCO24🔥 Perioperative chemotherapy (FLOT) to neoadjuvant chemoradiation (CROSS) in patients with adenocarcinoma of the esophagus 🔎 ESOPEC phase III trial, 438 patients 👉R0 180 vs 171 👉pCR 17 vs 10% 👉mOS 66 vs 37 mo 👉3yr OS: 57.4 vs 50.7% 🧐FLOT improves OS compared to CROSS @myESMO

Not every day that you get to celebrate a years-long survival advantage in the treatment of small cell lung cancer!!! Mind-blowing to see the median overall survival for limited stage SCLC approach the oncologically conventional 5-year milestone #lcsm #ASCO24

A wonderful evening with my @AORTIC_AFRICA family. Many issues raised around research in Africa. Comforting that organizations like @ASCO @NCIResearchCtr are actively funding and creating opportunities for researchers in Africa. #ASCO24

In less than 24 hours, @CaPTC7 , @iCCaRE4BlackMen and @ABeR_center will launch its first #NutritionRx in Badagry to address social determinants of health! The program is based on the @MayoCancerCare WellnessRx.

Congratulations to team SAMBAI, led by Melissa Davis @MeliD32 from @MSMEDU @ICSBCS! Long overdue challenge tackling cancer inequities that cause and influence disparate cancer outcomes in underserved populations of African descent. Find out more: cancergrandchallenges.org/teams/sambai

@DrOdedina @CaPTC7 @phd_yates Congratulations to the excellent team!

Congratulations. Great to see our @CaPTC7 PI @phd_yates representing!!!

Powerful image, illustrating inequity in clinical translation of global oncology research knowledge in Africa, presented by Dr. Gopal at #AORTIC2023

Why #radiotherapy with concomitant #chemotherapy is an excellent option for bladder preservation in #bladdercancer patients. @robert_huddart gives as always an excellent overview at #ESMO23. Patient preferences and priorities are central here.
