A team of specialists from the Republican Center for Oncology and Radiology has completed advanced training at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in the United States.
The program was organized at the initiative of the Agency for Strategic Development and Reforms with the support of the U.S. charity “The Stirling Foundation.”
Under the Presidential Degree of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On measures to improve the system of monitoring oncological diseases among women,” adopted on November 22, 2024, Uzbekistan is introducing a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cervical and breast cancer. The goal of this training program is to study the most effective international practices in this field and adapt them to the national healthcare system.
The Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah is one of the leading oncology centers in the United States, widely recognized for its high professional standards, modern clinical protocols, and strong research capacity. Today, more than 95% of clinical decisions at the Huntsman Cancer Institute are made through the multidisciplinary model, ensuring precision and improved treatment outcomes for patients.
During the visit, Uzbek oncologists specializing in mammology, gynecologic oncology, pathology, and cancer treatment observed how multidisciplinary teams in the U.S. operate, including clinical data assessment, collaborative decision-making, and patient care. Special emphasis was placed on rapid medical information exchange, unified clinical protocols, and quality assurance in clinical decision-making.
The knowledge and recommendations gained during the training will now be implemented in Uzbekistan as part of the multidisciplinary approach. Next month, the first pilot group specializing in cervical and breast cancer is set to begin its work.
