The Power Dynamics of Women and Cancer

The purpose of The Lancet Commission: Women, Power, and Cancer was to draw attention to the global inequities that women face with respect to cancer care. The commission explored 3 areas of "power" (or lack thereof): decision-making, knowledge, and economics. They published their findings last September, along with 10 priority actions that must happen for women to obtain quality, respectful care across the cancer continuum.
