Patient‐ and caregiver‐reported barriers to chemotherapy in nine sub‐Saharan African countries: A cross‐sectional survey among population‐based registries

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Increasing cancer incidence and mortality in low‐ and middle‐income countries has heightened concerns about limited resources and barriers to care. This challenge is particularly urgent in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where cancer rates are rising sharply. Here, data from population‐based cancer registries in nine SSA countries was assessed to

Pubertal timing and incident uterine cancer in the Sister Study cohort

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Younger age at menarche is an established risk factor for uterine cancer. Age at onset of breast development (thelarche), the earliest marker of pubertal estrogen exposure unopposed by progesterone, may also be relevant to uterine cancer risk, but this association has not been explored. Using data from the US prospective Sister Study cohort,

Longitudinal changes in health‐related quality of life after a breast cancer diagnosis in sub‐Saharan Africa: Evidence from the prospective ABC‐DO cohort

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Breast cancer is now the most common malignancy among women in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Its impact on survivors’ quality of life and Global Health Status (GHS), however, remains inadequately studied in this setting. Here, using data from the African Breast Cancer‐Disparities in Outcomes (ABC‐DO) study, the authors examined GHS over time in

Nonavalent HPV vaccine to prevent recurrent anal or vulvar high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (VIVA trial): A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Anal and vulvar high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) frequently recur following treatment. Additional genital and anal procedures, however, can be distressing for patients and are potentially disfiguring. This trial assessed whether the 9‐valent human papillomavirus (9vHPV) vaccine reduces HSIL recurrence risk or HPV ...

Patient‐ and caregiver‐reported barriers to radiotherapy for cancer in sub‐Saharan Africa—A survey of population‐based registries

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Low‐ and middle‐income countries have over 70% of the global cancer burden but 10% of the world's radiotherapy capacities. This population‐based multi‐country study explores the barriers to access experienced by cancer patients in sub‐Saharan Africa.

Functional status of women with and without potentially life‐threatening maternal conditions after 6 months postpartum: A cohort study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of potentially life‐threatening maternal conditions (PLTCs) on functional disability at 6 months postpartum. Methods This prospective cohort study was done at 10 hospitals in Tigray, northern Ethiopia. A total of 1027 postpartum women (341 with PLTCs and 686 without) were enrolled into

Core‐shell structure induced surface reconstruction of PbS quantum dots toward high‐detectivity short‐wave infrared photodetectors

open access: yesInfoScience, EarlyView.
We present a core‐shell structure‐induced surface reconstruction treatment for PbS quantum dots (QDs). Highly detective photodetectors and imagers in the short‐wave infrared region are demonstrated based on the surface‐reconstructed QDs with reduced dark current density and improved QD stacking configuration, as shown by grazing‐incidence small‐angle X‐
