As part of an effort through the Lancet Commission on Women, Power and Cancer, an analysis was carried out to examine the extent to which the top-ranking oncology journals incorporated their SAGER guidelines or other languages regarding the inclusion of sex and gender considerations in the instructions to authors of the journals. The findings were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), one of the largest conferences centered around conquering cancer through a threefold approach involving research, education, and the promotion of the highest quality and equitable patient care. ASCO focuses on promoting lifelong learning for oncology professionals, supporting cancer research, enhancing the environment for oncology practice, ensuring access to quality cancer care, fostering a global network of oncology expertise, and educating patients with cancer.
