[Articles] Global variation in patterns of care and time to initial treatment for breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer from 2015 to 2018 (VENUSCANCER): a secondary analysis of individual records for 275 792 women from 103 population-based cancer registries in 39 countries and territories

The VENUSCANCER project provides the first global picture of patterns of care for three of the most common cancers in women. These findings offer crucial real-world evidence to support the implementation and monitoring of global initiatives on cancer control such as WHO's Global Breast Cancer Initiative and Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative. Although guideline-consistent treatment has become more accessible for women diagnosed with early-stage tumours in LMICs, the proportion of these women diagnosed early remains far too low.
