Revolutionizing Global Cancer Care Through Science Through the GOIS and GO-U Forum

The Global Oncology-Implementing Science (GOIS) and Global Oncology University (GO-U) are poised to transform cancer care worldwide

Global Oncology University (GO-U) is dedicated to providing access to high-quality education and training in oncology from any country. By offering online lectures and practical training at credentialed sites worldwide, GO-U empowers a vital workforce to tackle cancer health disparities. The university focuses on eliminating global cancer health inequities through continuous medical education, graduate degrees, and clinical residency training in oncology.

About Global Oncology-Implementing Science (GOIS)

The Global Oncology-Implementing Science (GOIS) initiative aims to enhance cancer care worldwide through professional education and innovative training programs. The focus is on developing scientific approaches and collaborative models that increase the affordability and value of cancer treatment for underserved populations in both low- and middle-income countries, as well as wealthier nations.

The initiative emphasizes the importance of creating win-win scenarios for all stakeholders involved, ensuring that current beneficiaries gain more while those previously disadvantaged receive the necessary care. This approach is not merely aspirational; it is grounded in practical, scientifically-driven methods that foster collaboration among various partners in the healthcare sector.

About Global Oncology University (GO-U)

Global Oncology University (GO-U) aims to provide world-class education and training in oncology accessible from any country. By leveraging an award-winning collaborative education model, GO-U offers online lectures and practical training at credentialed sites worldwide. The university focuses on eliminating global cancer health disparities through continuous medical education, graduate degrees, and clinical residency training in oncology.

A key aspect of GO-U is its co-mentorship program, which fosters bi-directional learning between oncology professionals from high-income countries (HIC) and low/middle-income countries (LMIC). This collaboration leads to co-authored publications and funding opportunities that benefit both HIC and LMIC institutions. The faculty at GO-U comprises leading experts, including top diaspora faculty, promoting brain circulation for global health advancement.

By fostering collaboration between oncology professionals from high-income countries (HIC) and low/middle-income countries (LMIC), GO-U emphasizes co-mentorship and bi-directional learning. This approach not only enhances knowledge but also leads to co-authored publications and funding opportunities that benefit both HIC and LMIC institutions.

For millions of cancer patients worldwide, the gap between essential cancer care and what is accessible or affordable is widening. Despite ongoing efforts, conferences, and initiatives from organizations like WHO, UICC, and ASCO, the need for impactful, science-driven solutions in cancer care remains pressing.

This third decade of the 21st century demands a game-changing approach to affordability and access in oncology. Through implementing science-backed practices and better value care, transformative change is possible. The Global Oncology-Implementing Science Program (GOIS) and Global Oncology University (GO-U) offer a collaborative forum to drive this mission forward.
