Ola Khorshid, Department Chair Medical Oncology & Malignant Hematology at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cairo University, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Major Milestone in Global Oncology Collaboration.

We are proud to announce a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Egyptian Cancer Society (ECS) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO).

A landmark step toward transforming cancer care, research, and education in Egypt and the MENA region.

This is more than a partnership it’s a powerful alignment of missions to:

Elevate clinical excellence through shared education and training.

Strengthen access to cutting-edge guidelines and global best practices.

Expand collaborative research and scientific exchange.

Empower a new generation of oncology leaders across our region.

This MOU sets the stage for long term, sustainable progress, beginning with upcoming joint symposia, educational programs, and cross border capacity building efforts.

We believe this collaboration will have a ripple effect: shaping policy, advancing precision medicine, and improving outcomes for thousands of patients across the region.

On behalf of the board members of ECS, we extend sincere thanks to our esteemed colleagues at ASCO for their partnership, vision, and dedication to global oncology.

Stay tuned we’re just getting started.”
