Abstract

In this Research Topic, there are 14 articles led by women on various aspects of several cancer types. Waldhorn et al. have compiled data from clinical trials from the last two decades, highlighting women underrepresentation in leading positions in oncology clinical trials. Although the percentage of female principal investigators in oncology clinical trials has been slowly increasing, mainly with respect to cancers more common in females, such as breast cancer, the increase is slow worldwide and more so in Asia.
