Abstract
With the escalating incidence and prevalence of cancer worldwide disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries, there is an urgent need for the global oncology community to foster bidirectional partnerships and an equitable exchange of knowledge, resources, and expertise. A dedicated Global Oncology Community of Practice (CoP) can serve as a self-organizing, grassroots approach for members, with common goals and values, to coordinate efforts, maximize impact, and ensure sustainable outcomes. It is imperative, however, when outlining goals and priorities to adhere to an ethical and appropriate framework during community building efforts to avoid perpetuating inequities and power imbalances. This article reviews the core guiding principles for ASCO's Global Oncology CoP which includes responsibility, amplification, accessibility, sustainability, and decolonization.
期刊介绍:
The Ed Book is a National Library of Medicine–indexed collection of articles written by ASCO Annual Meeting faculty and invited leaders in oncology. Ed Book was launched in 1985 to highlight standards of care and inspire future therapeutic possibilities in oncology. Published annually, each volume highlights the most compelling research and developments across the multidisciplinary fields of oncology and serves as an enduring scholarly resource for all members of the cancer care team long after the Meeting concludes. These articles address issues in the following areas, among others: Immuno-oncology, Surgical, radiation, and medical oncology, Clinical informatics and quality of care, Global health, Survivorship.
