Harmonizing testing in blood cancer care
The global burden of blood cancer is huge, with around 474,519 new cases of leukemia in 2020 alone – and 311,594 deaths (1). With an overall 5-year relative survival rate in the US of 66.4% for people diagnosed with all kinds of leukemia (2), this makes early diagnosis and treatment more important than ever.
But we still have so many challenges to overcome. How can we ensure better patient access to oncohematology testing? While many testing guidelines and recommendations are available, these rarely apply globally. What can we do to overcome the challenges that impact diagnosis, monitoring and patient care? Let’s unite together and pledge “I CAN” – a decision that improves patients’ lives.
