On Day 1 of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Global Cancer Stigma Research Workshop, sponsored by NCI's Center for Global Health (CGH) and Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), Dr. Satish Gopal gave opening remarks. Sessions focused on the impact of stigma on global cancer control and the domestic and global cancer stigma research conducted by NIH/NCI grantees. Two plenary talks included, Dr. Anne Stangl, Division of Global HIV & TB, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on “The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework: An Overview;” and Carolyn Taylor, Founder, Global Focus on Cancer, on “The Global Face of Cancer Stigma.” Day 1 topics also included lung cancer and intersectional stigmas. On both days, participants explored research gaps for measuring stigma and developing context-specific stigma reduction interventions within the cancer care continuum in diverse global settings.
