Roundtable on Black in cancer research and oncology

In 2018, we hired two medical oncologists and in 2021, we brought in two US oncology professors specialized in pharmacy. Additionally, last year we conducted a zoom session for pathologists. The remarkable aspect of this project is that it aims to equip cancer professionals with the necessary skills within their own working environment, utilizing the available infrastructure. This is in contrast to the common practice of sending specialists from Nigeria abroad for training, which, although beneficial, often results in their inability to practice upon returning due to the lack of similar infrastructure in their home country. Moreover, we have also shared our approach and methods to enable the scientific community and individuals in other countries to learn from and replicate our success.
