Resource-appropriate selection of osteosarcoma treatment protocols in low- and middle-income countries

Sharada Mailankody et al.

Summary: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone tumor in adolescents and young adults, with chemotherapy improving survival rates. However, there are unresolved issues in choosing the ideal chemotherapy regimen, especially regarding the role of high-dose methotrexate in the oncology community. Further research into non-methotrexate-based protocols adapted to available resources is crucial for improving disease outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Oncology clinical practice guidelines usage among physicians in Nepal

Divya Bhandari et al.

Summary: The study found that a considerable proportion of senior physicians in oncology departments in Nepal use the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline of the United States (75.5%), while only 22.6% of physicians reported using OCPGs every time. More than half (56.9%) highlighted that OCPGs are not feasible to implement in Nepal due to barriers such as insufficient facilities/equipment, physicians' unwillingness to change their usual practice, inability to discuss research with knowledgeable colleagues, and lack of time.

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.

The cultural and structural influences that 'hide' information from women diagnosed with breast cancer in Ghana: an ethnography

Linda Serwaa Agyemang et al.

Summary: The study found that socio-cultural factors such as unequal power relationships, language barriers and structural constraints can influence treatment decision-making for women with breast cancer in Ghana. Doctors may intentionally misrepresent treatment information to encourage women to undergo surgical treatment, while lack of privacy, high treatment costs, and resource scarcity hinder patient engagement with decision-making. Awareness of these factors and policies to address them are recommended for improving access to quality information for informed treatment decisions.
