Alisher Kahharov: Uzbekistan’s First National Breast Cancer Guideline – A Collaborative Effort with WHO and Georgian Experts

Alisher Kahharov, Head of the Breast Cancer Surgery Department at the Republican Specialized Scientific-Practical Medical Center of Oncology and Radiology, Ministry of Health of Uzbekistan, shared on Facebook:

“As the coordinator of the expert group, I am proud to share that Uzbekistan is currently in the process of developing its first-ever National Breast Cancer Guideline, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and experts from Georgia. Today, we presented the first draft of the guidelines, which incorporate best practices in diagnostics, surgery, radiotherapy, medical oncology, and palliative care, with the goal of providing patients access to high-quality treatment.

I am deeply grateful for the invaluable insights and support from Dr. Rolando Camacho, WHO expert. His kindness, professionalism, and expert advice played a crucial role in guiding us through the complex process of coordinating all recommendations and ensuring they meet international standards. His dedication and willingness to share his expertise truly made a significant difference in achieving this milestone.
This achievement was made possible through the dedicated efforts of our entire team. I would especially like to acknowledge Dr. Dilshod Egamberdiev, our overall coordinator for the national cancer control plan, whose leadership was instrumental throughout this process.
We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Georgian colleagues, whose professionalism, expertise, and collaborative spirit have been essential in this endeavor. Their dedication to advancing cancer care and their generous sharing of knowledge have greatly enriched this project.

The Georgian team includes highly skilled professionals, each bringing their unique strengths. Coordinator Dr. Nia Sharikadze is meticulous, with extensive experience in both coordination and technical expertise, ensuring effective project management. Palliative Care Specialist Dr. Ioseb Abesadze is compassionate, proactive, and an inspiring leader, actively supporting and motivating the team. Radiologist Dr. Tamar Charkviani is attentive, innovative, and highly skilled, excelling in modern diagnostic techniques. Pathologist Dr. Armaz Mariamidze is reliable and an expert diagnostician, demonstrating precision and thoroughness in his work. Surgical Oncologist Dr. Irakli Sikharulidze is professional, innovative, and dedicated, providing high-quality surgical interventions. Radiation Oncologist Dr. Natalia Jankarashvili is detail-oriented, compassionate, and possesses deep expertise, ensuring effective radiotherapy treatments. Medical Oncologist Dr. Tako Esakia Tamar Esakia is caring, attentive, and committed to patient well-being, striving for optimal recovery. Nurse Maria Latsenko is compassionate, professional, and attentive, creating a supportive and trustworthy environment for patients.

Additionally, our own team includes experienced and forward-thinking professionals. Medical Oncologist Dr. Farrukh Djuraev demonstrates expertise and innovative approaches to cancer treatment. Surgical Oncologist Dr. Равшан Абдусатторов Rаvshan Abdusattorov is highly skilled and a true team player, delivering precise and successful surgical procedures. Palliative Care Specialist Dr. Yahyo Ziyaev Yakhyo Ziyaev is compassionate and an expert in alleviating patient suffering. Radiation Oncologist Dr. Behzod Israilov is dedicated, knowledgeable, and continuously striving to improve treatment quality. Pathologist Dr. Madina Jakhongirova is precise and diligent, ensuring accurate diagnoses. Radiologist Dr. Aysulu Seitmuratova is attentive, technically advanced, and highly competent. Nurse Dildora Narbaeva is caring, dedicated, and creates an atmosphere of trust and comfort for patients.

These experts are united by a common goal—providing the best possible care and treatment for patients, leveraging their strengths to achieve better outcomes in the fight against cancer.

I firmly believe this milestone will significantly benefit our people and further strengthen Uzbekistan’s cancer care system. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and making even greater progress in the fight against cancer.”
