Cancer incidence rates are increasing worldwide including in Portuguese speaking African countries. We present the results of the fellowship in surgical oncology promoted by the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Porto (IPO), Fernando Pessoa University, Portugal, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which involved the training of residents and surgeons from Portuguese-speaking African countries in Portugal. The program's structure and content was the same of UMES/ESSO. The hands-on activity took place at the IPO. After the fellowship, a theoretical and practical assessment was held, and all fellows scored above the threshold to pass. The surgical performance of the fellows was assessed in their workplaces in Africa. The impact of the training was evaluated by a questionnaire completed by all the fellows. It was reported an increase in knowledge, skills and organizational skills that fellows are committed to implement. As the fellowship is certified by a Portuguese University, it may be recognized by the Local Health and University Authorities, impacting on the professional progression of fellows.
癌症发病率在全球范围内呈上升趋势，包括葡萄牙语非洲国家。我们展示了由葡萄牙波尔图肿瘤研究所（IPO）、葡萄牙费尔南多·佩索阿大学和加利布基金会共同发起的外科肿瘤学研究员项目的结果，该项目涉及培训来自葡萄牙语非洲国家的住院医师和外科医生。该项目的结构和内容与 UMES/ESSO 相同。实践活动在 IPO 进行。研究员项目结束后，进行了理论和实践评估，所有研究员的得分都超过了及格线。非洲工作场所对研究员的手术表现进行了评估。所有研究员都完成了一份问卷，对培训的影响进行了评估。报告称，研究员们在知识、技能和组织能力方面都有所提高，并承诺加以实施。由于研究员项目由葡萄牙大学认证，可能会得到当地卫生和大学当局的认可，从而影响研究员的职业发展。
