For World Cancer Day 2022, we are spotlighting FIGO’s Pilot Project to Eliminate Cervical Cancer, and the recently launched pilot grants which, in partnership with FIGO’s Member Societies, are taking essential steps on the path towards the global elimination of cervical cancer.
A keynote on Fetal Precision Medicine
Day six of the FIGO 2021 World Congress began with a keynote lecture by Dr Diana Bianchi, “The Earlier the Better: The Case for Fetal Precision Medicine”. Dr Bianchi demonstrated the usefulness of the Cell-Free RNA in amniotic acid and explored avenues for the delivery of prenatal precision health. As a final point, Dr Bianchi focused on showing how the takeaways from this work can be applied in both high- and low-resource settings for the prevention of preterm birth.
