Report back from the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada in June 2022.
In 2019, an ISOPP survey identified several barriers to biosimilar implementation faced by oncology pharmacists internationally. The African region was identified as facing several challenges to implementation that were different from those experienced in higher income settings. An African survey was designed in 2021 to explore these challenges further, with a view to creating educational materials and resources to meet the specific needs of oncology professionals in Africa. The main results are shared here.
