Global oncology research and training at US National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centres: results of the 2021 Global Oncology Survey

Elise M Garton et al. Lancet Oncol. 2023 Oct.

Abstract

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.
