Manage episode 430154406 series 2474076
In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Mansoor Mirza and Angélica Nogueira Rodrigues to discuss recent updates on endometrial cancer in Latin America. Dr. Mirza is a highly qualified medical oncologist with expertise in Medical and Radiation Oncology, holding multiple degrees and licenses in these fields. He currently serves as the Chief Oncologist at the Department of Oncology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark, and holds the position of Medical Director of the Nordic Society of Gynaecologic Oncology-Clinical Trial Unit (NSGO-CTU). Dr. Mirza is actively involved in numerous medical societies, clinical research, and international trial collaborations, and has contributed significantly to the development of clinical protocols and guidelines for the management of various cancers. Dr. Angélica Nogueira-Rodrigues is the Founder of EVA Group, and President-elect of the Brazilian Society of Medical Oncology. She is also a Researcher and Professor at Federal University, MG, Brazil, and Chair of Gynecology at the Latin America Cooperative Oncology Group (LACOG).
Highlights:
-Detailed epidemiological data on endometrial cancer in Latin America are scant, but GLOBOCAN provides estimates for the incidence of uterine cancer within countries globally. EC is the second gyn cancer in the region, due to the burden of CC which is still the first one. It is estimated that the total number of new cases of uterine cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean will rise from approximately 33,000 in 2020 to an estimated 51,000 in 2040;
-The last ten years have been marked by a radical transformation in the understanding of the molecular biology of endometrial cancer, and, including it. or not in FIGO staging, this discussion needs to evolve and be incorporated into clinical practice in Latin America, as it impacts clinical decision, hereditary cancer diagnosis, among others.
-The main message for young gynecological oncologists as us to create a future medicine with fewer disparities worldwide is to strive to get access an implement the best for the patient, avoiding protocols adapted for low-income countries which can negatively impact the clinical outcomes.
