“Our manuscript, ‘Impact of Russian invasion on radiation therapy capacity in Ukraine: a national survey study,’ has been published in BMJ Global Health!
Congratulations to Drs. Zoia Shepil and Vladyslav Buryk and all our coauthors on this outstanding achievement!
This study began as Zoia and Vladyslav’s project in the Help Ukraine Group (HUG)/American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Research Methodology Course, and it is incredibly rewarding to see their hard work develop into an important national study and peer-reviewed publication.
The research documents both the devastating impact of Russia’s invasion on radiation therapy services and the remarkable resilience and modernization of radiation oncology in Ukraine.
Zoia and Vladyslav, congratulations on your leadership, perseverance, and dedication! We are incredibly proud of you and of our entire Ukrainian and international team.
A very special thank you to all radiation oncology institutions across Ukraine that participated in the national survey and shared their experiences during this extraordinarily difficult time.
We are also deeply grateful to the Cancerfonden and Swecare for supporting the Research Methodology Course and helping create opportunities for Ukrainian oncology professionals to develop research projects, build international collaborations, and translate their work into publications with meaningful impact.
This is exactly what investment in education, mentorship, collaboration, and Ukrainian researchers can achieve.”
