Cancer incidence and mortality are increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where more than 75% of global cancer burden will occur by the year 2040. The primary drivers of cancer morbidity and mortality in LMICs are environmental and behavioral risk factors, inadequate prevention and early detection services, presence of comorbidities, and poor access to treatment and palliation. These same drivers also contribute to marked cancer health disparities in high-income countries. Studying cancer in LMICs provides opportunities to better understand and address these drivers to benefit populations worldwide, and reflecting this, global oncology as an academic discipline has grown substantially in recent years. However, sustaining this growth requires a uniquely trained workforce with the skills to pursue relevant, rigorous, and equitable global oncology research. Despite this need, dedicated global cancer research training programs remain somewhat nascent and uncoordinated. In this paper, we discuss efforts to address these gaps in global cancer research training at the US National Institutes of Health.

全球癌症研究能力建设:现有机遇和未来方向

低收入和中等收入国家 (LMIC) 的癌症发病率和死亡率正在上升,到 2040 年,全球 75% 以上的癌症负担将发生在这些国家。LMIC 癌症发病率和死亡率的主要驱动因素是环境和行为风险因素、预防和早期检测服务不足、合并症的存在以及难以获得治疗和姑息治疗。这些相同的驱动因素也导致高收入国家显着的癌症健康差异。在 LMIC 中研究癌症提供了更好地理解和解决这些驱动因素以造福全球人口的机会,并反映了这一点,全球肿瘤学作为一门学科近年来有了长足的发展。然而,维持这种增长需要一支受过独特培训的员工队伍,他们具备追求相关、严谨、和公平的全球肿瘤学研究。尽管存在这种需求,但专门的全球癌症研究培训计划仍处于起步阶段且缺乏协调。在本文中,我们讨论了为解决美国国立卫生研究院全球癌症研究培训中的这些差距所做的努力。
