Cancer screening is incredibly beneficial, but only when it’s done right. Unfortunately, too many people are falling through gaps in the system, according to a new report from PROSPR II (Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening PRocess). https://bit.ly/3JG6cgz
Lack of insurance, follow-ups undercut cancer screening wins
“Screening is an effective tool for reducing the burden of cancer,” per Fred Hutch public health researcher Chris Li. “But it's a complex process with multiple steps." Unfortunately, many Americans ar...

A thoughtful reminder that statisticians should be part of clinical trial design from day one, and that leadership isn’t just for senior statisticians. Influence, communicate, collaborate!
