Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, UICC President-Elect of 2024-2026 and a Founder of the Medicaid Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Though bone cancer makes up less than 1% of all cancers, it has a significant impact, especially on young adults. Delayed diagnosis and limited access to care often leads to poorer outcomes.
With early detection and proper treatment, survival rates can exceed 70%. Strengthening access to specialized care must go hand-in-hand with sound policy implementation and integration into national cancer control plans to ensure long-term, equitable outcomes.”
