Article Synopsis
- About 82,000 people are in prison in England and Wales each year, but there hasn't been much research on how they experience cancer care.
- The study involved interviews with 55 people, including prisoners with cancer and prison healthcare staff, to understand their experiences.
- The results showed that people in prison face extra challenges getting diagnosed and treated for cancer compared to those outside of prison, and they often have a harder time with their care.
Background: People in prison experience poorer mental and physical health compared to their peers in the general population. The causes are multi-dimensional ranging from lifestyle factors to poorer access to healthcare. Little is known about cancer in people in prison or how the cost of their care compares to the general population.

While some studies have examined vaccine uptake within specific countries, few provide an overview of the barriers and trends among migrant groups. To fill this knowledge gap, this narrative review analyzes immunization patterns and vaccine hesitancy among immigrant populations.

This study aimed to compare cancer incidence, treatment, and survival between patients diagnosed in prison and the general population.
Methods: In this population-based, matched cohort study, we used cancer registration data from the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service in England to identify primary invasive cancers and cervical cancers in situ diagnosed in adults (aged ≥18 years) in the prison and general populations between Jan 1, 1998, and Dec 31, 2017.
Objective: Assess the efficiency of seven novel surfactants, relative to the typical Silwet L-77, for floral dip transformation of Arabidopsis.
Results: Floral dip transformation of Arabidopsis has been used consistently for 20 years with little change in the protocol. Here we directly compare seven novel surfactants (BREAK-THRU-OE446, S200, S233, S240, S279, S301 and SP133) to the standard Silwet L-77 for efficiency of Arabidopsis transformation providing an example of how the surfactants can help other plant transformation protocols.
