Global oncology research and training are crucial to address the growing global burden of cancer, which largely and increasingly occurs in low-income and middle-income countries. To better understand global oncology activities at the 71 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centres, the US NCI Centre for Global Health regularly surveys cancer centre directors, global oncology leads, and principal investigators in 36 US states and the District of Columbia. The survey results complement internal and publicly available data about global oncology research funded directly by the US National Institutes of Health to provide a comprehensive catalogue of global oncology research, training, and activities led by NCI-designated cancer centres. 91% (61 of 67) of responding cancer centres reported global oncology activities not directly funded by the National Institutes of Health. The survey results indicate that global oncology is an important priority at cancer centres and provide a valuable resource for these centres, researchers, collaborators, trainees, and the NCI and other funders.
全球肿瘤学研究和培训对于应对癌症日益增长的全球负担至关重要,而癌症在很大程度上越来越多地发生在低收入和中等收入国家。为了更好地了解 71 个美国国立癌症研究所(NCI)指定癌症中心的全球肿瘤学活动,美国 NCI 全球卫生中心定期对来自 36 个州和哥伦比亚特区的癌症中心主任、全球肿瘤学负责人和主要研究者进行调查。调查结果补充了内部和公开的关于全球肿瘤学研究的数据,这些研究由美国国立卫生研究院直接资助,为 NCI 指定癌症中心领导的全球肿瘤学研究、培训和活动提供了全面的目录。在做出回应的 67 个癌症中心中,有 91%(61 个)报告了没有得到国立卫生研究院直接资助的全球肿瘤学活动。调查结果表明,全球肿瘤学是癌症中心的一个重要优先事项,并为这些中心、研究人员、合作者、受训人员以及 NCI 和其他资助者提供了有价值的资源。
