I'm looking to connect with stakeholders who look at cancer and gender for those who identify as women.
Particularly interested in those who are addressing the priorities stated in the recent Lancet commission: lnkd.in/gqAhu7c4. Thank you 🙌🏽

So pleased to see this paper exploring quality of life, family functioning and the impacts of socioeconomic status and tumour characteristics on families of children with a brain tumour. We need more papers like this. Bravo @Researcher_Kate onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Quality of life and family functioning 12 months after diagnosis of childhood brain tumour: A longitudinal cohort study - Pediatric Blood & Cancer onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
We also found an interaction between family functioning and tumour grade, with family functioning improving for those with a high grade tumour and becoming more problematic for those with a low grade tumour. #braintumour
The following factors indicate a need for increased early psychosocial support: cognitive difficulties, aged <4 years at diagnosis, receiving chemotherapy and/or radiation, and low household income. #braintumour
