Empowering Oncologists: How my professional enthusiasm made me a global leader in Oncology?

How do you practice GU oncology when 1,400 oncologists serve 85 million people? In this episode of Empowering Oncologists, hosted by Jasmine Kamboj, Prof. Yüksel Ürün shares his journey from Turkey to training at Dana-Farber in Boston and back, the realities of high-volume cancer care, and why mentoring, community, and clear communication matter as much as any protocol.

Key parts of Empowering Oncologists with Yuksel Urun’s Episode

Applying guidelines in Turkey: fast access to essentials, but delays for some tests/therapies and reimbursement gaps
Clinical trials: paperwork headaches, access barriers—and a push to decentralize and broaden eligibility
Well-being: how camaraderie prevents burnout and why celebrating small wins keeps teams going
Explaining cancer with metaphors: turning complex science into language patients understand
