A one-day workshop on Burkitt lymphoma (BL) was held at the 9(th) African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC) conference in 2013 in Durban, South Africa. The workshop featured 15 plenary talks by delegates representing 13 institutions that either fund or implement research on BL targeting AORTIC delegates primarily interested in pediatric oncology. The main outcomes of the meeting were improved sharing of knowledge and experience about ongoing epidemiologic BL research, BL treatment in different settings, the role of cancer registries in cancer research, and opportunities for African scientists to publish in scientific journals. The idea of forming a consortium of BL to improve coordination, information sharing, accelerate discovery, dissemination, and translation of knowledge and to build capacity, while reducing redundant efforts was discussed. Here, we summarize the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
2013 年在南非德班举行的第 9 届非洲癌症研究和培训组织（AORTIC）会议上举办了为期一天的伯基特淋巴瘤（BL）研讨会。该研讨会有 15 个专题报告，代表了 13 个机构的代表发言，这些机构或资助或开展 BL 研究，主要针对的是对儿科肿瘤学感兴趣的 AORTIC 代表。会议的主要成果是更好地分享了关于正在进行的流行病学 BL 研究、不同环境下的 BL 治疗、癌症登记处在癌症研究中的作用以及非洲科学家在科学期刊上发表论文的机会等方面的知识和经验。会上讨论了成立 BL 联盟的想法，以改善协调、信息共享、加速发现、传播和转化知识，并建立能力，同时减少重复工作。在这里，我们总结了研讨会的演示和讨论。
