open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 2, Page 450-459, 15 July 2026.
What's new? Tamoxifen is a cornerstone of endocrine therapy for estrogen receptor (ER)‐positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐negative breast cancer.

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, Volume 159, Issue 1, Page 78-91, 1 July 2026.
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
