Factors associated with late diagnosis of breast cancer in women in Togo, Sub-Saharan Africa

Tchin Darre et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with late diagnosis of breast cancer in Togolese women. The factors associated with late diagnosis of breast cancer were fear of diagnosis, long delay in diagnosis, and failure to perform breast self-examination. Strategies should be implemented at the national level to address these factors and achieve early diagnosis of breast cancer.

AI/ML in Precision Medicine: A Look Beyond the Hype

Zhiheng Xu et al.

Summary: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are gaining attention in medical research for their potential applications in drug discovery, digital imaging, disease diagnostics, genetic testing, and personalized care. However, it is important to differentiate between the actual uses and benefits of AI/ML and the hype surrounding them. This paper provides a summary and further discussion on the topics discussed in a panel of experts from FDA and industry, focusing on the challenges of implementing AI/ML in precision medicine, including bias and data quality.

Preexisting morbidity profile of women newly diagnosed with breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa: African Breast Cancer-Disparities in Outcomes study

Oluwatosin A. Ayeni et al.

Summary: The prevalence of preexisting morbidities, such as obesity, hypertension, and HIV, is high among breast cancer patients in sub-Saharan Africa. Obesity and hypertension are more common in upper middle income countries and higher socioeconomic groups. The presence of multiple morbidities does not significantly impact the care and diagnosis of breast cancer patients.

Survival Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of a Multidisciplinary Tumor Board for Breast Cancer in Mozambique, Sub-Saharan Africa

Mariana Brandao et al.

Summary: The implementation of multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) in Mozambique significantly decreased mortality among patients with early breast cancer and proved to be cost-effective. These findings emphasize the importance of scaling up MTBs in developing countries to improve patient outcomes.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Breast cancer in sub-Saharan Africa: The current state and uncertain future

Claudia A. Anyigba et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths in women globally, with a significant burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite lower incidence rates in SSA, mortality rates are disproportionately high. More research is needed on the racial, ethnic, and geographical variations in breast cancer, especially in the SSA region.
