“OncoCorridor
editorial by Gevorg Tamamyan
We are trained to deliver bad news:
“You have cancer… but there is a chance to be cured.”
But what do you say in a war zone?
“Your child has leukemia. It is curable, but there is no hospital, no chemotherapy, no access to treatment.”
Medicine has answers.
War removes access.
Every year, advances in oncology save lives. At the same time, patients in conflict zones are left behind not because treatments do not exist, but because they cannot be reached.
This is not a medical gap. It is a systems failure.
On May 18, in Geneva, during the World Health Assembly, OncoDaily, together with the Institute of Cancer and Crisis, will launch OncoCorridor — a global initiative designed to connect cancer patients in conflict-affected regions with treatment centers worldwide.
Because no one should die from a curable cancer due to war.
We know what to do.
Now we must deliver.
