In this episode of Inside Cancer Careers, we hear from Dr. Satish Gopal, Director of the NCI Center for Global Health, and Dr. Peter Kingham, Surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Director of the Global Cancer Disparities Initiative at MSK, about the global cancer challenge. They discuss the importance of understanding cancer in different settings, drawing on their own deep experiences in Africa, the challenges of extrapolating from high-income to low- and middle-income countries, and the need for greater investment in global cancer research and care. They also highlight the importance of collaboration and mentorship in advancing the field of global oncology before sharing their career paths.
