Prof Ophira Ginsburg - University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada

Prof Ginsburg speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 World Cancer Congress about the publication of a series of papers in The Lancet, focused on the global burden of womens cancers.

Considering the international disparity in access to equipment, information and resources, she describes how changes to lifestyle and barriers to preventative interventions are addressed in the journal, which brings together perspectives on disease control, and hopes to empower women and healthcare providers across the globe.

More information on the series is available here.

Prof Ginsburg also discusses the recent UN global joint program for cervical cancer with ecancer here.

She also considers the impact of the work of Dr Ana Langer, whose interview with ecancer will be available soon.
