SUMMARY:Women and Cancer: 30 Years of the NIH Revitalization Act
DESCRIPTION:June 2023 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Congressional Act of 1993\, that established guidelines for the inclusion of women and minorities in all NIH-funded research. WHAM is excited to recognize the anniversary of this historic Act by hosting a series of virtual (and in-person) events throughout the year\, exploring what’s changed\, what hasn’t\, and what needs to change in the future.\n\nDespite some advances in our understanding of certain areas of women and cancer in the last 30 years\, the field still remains understudied and underfunded. Some of the cancers that affect women most often include breast\, colorectal\, endometrial\, lung\, cervical\, skin and ovarian cancers. Lung cancer is the #1 cause of cancer deaths in women\, more than breast\, ovarian\, and cervical cancers combined\, and breast\, lung and colorectal cancer will account for an estimated 50% of all new cancer diagnoses in women.\n\nThis WHAM Dialogue will discuss where do we stand today with one of the leading causes of death worldwide\, and the direction we need to take to create change.\n\nJoin us for this roundtable dialogue\, featuring:\n\nYolonda Colson\, MD\, PhD\, Chief for the Division of Thoracic Surgery\, Massachusetts General Hospital and Professor of Surgery\, Harvard Medical School\nClaudia Henschke\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Radiology\, and Head\, Lung and Cardiac Screening at Mount Sinai Medical Center\nNicole LeBoeuf\, MD\, MPH\, Vice Chair of the Department of Dermatology\, Division Chief of Oncodermatology and Director of the Center for Cutaneous Oncology\, Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center; Director of The Program in Skin Toxicities from Anticancer Therapies\, Director of Cutaneous Oncology Fellowship Program\, and Co-Director of the Complex Medical Dermatology Fellowship Program\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; and Associate Professor\, Harvard Medical School\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:#SWHRtalksHPV: Vaccination for Cancer Prevention
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nIn the United States\, 85% of people will get a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection within their lifetime. While many HPV infections will clear naturally and without issue\, persistent infections caused by certain types of HPV can lead to serious diseases such as genital warts and cancer – including cervical\, vaginal\, vulvar\, penile\, anal\, and oropharyngeal (throat) cancers. \nThe HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing many of these cancers and reducing the overall spread of the virus. However\, vaccination rates at the recommended times in childhood and adolescence need improvement. The Society for Women’s Health Research created the #SWHRtalksHPV Video Series and other educational resources to help health care providers\, parents\, guardians\, and their communities engage in productive conversations about the HPV vaccine. Recognizing that women are often the primary medical decision-makers for their families\, it is important that they have science-based information that is accessible and easy to understand so they can make the best and most informed decisions about HPV vaccination for themselves and their loved ones. \nSWHR hosted a virtual public forum to share educational information about the HPV vaccine and highlight diverse perspectives on the value of the HPV vaccine in cancer prevention. \n  \nThis public forum is part of SWHR’s Vaccines Program. It builds on SWHR’s HPV Vaccine Education Roundtable held in November 2022 that focused discussion on how to eliminate barriers to HPV vaccine confidence\, access\, and uptake.

SUMMARY:Tackling Depression / Anxiety During Midlife & The Menopause Transition: It's Not All in Your Head
DESCRIPTION:Irritable? Little or no motivation? Unable to experience joy? Increased anxiety? Not feeling like yourself? Women are far likelier to experience depression and anxiety during the years leading up to and immediately after menopause. But few people\, even doctors\, understand this. \nIn honor of Mental Health Awareness Month\, the speaker for our May Menopause Talk is Dr. Claudio Soares\, Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Queen’s University in Canada and one of the foremost experts on mood and menopause. Dr. Susan Goldstein\, a family physician\, professor at the University of Toronto\, and Board member of the Canadian Menopause Society\, also will be joining and interviewing Dr. Soares. \nDrs. Soares and Goldstein will discuss why women are at greater risk for mental health challenges\, including depression and anxiety\, during the menopause transition. And they will walk through the questions to ask to identify the most valid treatment option(s): are you pre- or post-menopausal? How severe are your mood symptoms? What about other menopause symptoms\, like hot flashes and sleep issues? Have you had prior mood problems? What treatment(s) helped you? Whether your mood is not what it used to be\, or you are suffering far more than that\, you will not want to miss this discussion. \n\nREGISTER
