Trainee and Faculty Perspectives on Global Oncology: Assessing Interest, Barriers, and Opportunities.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cancer disproportionately impacts low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 70% of cancer-related deaths occur. Oncology providers are needed in global health, but significant barriers limit participation. This study explores challenges impacting global oncology engagement among cancer-oriented trainees and faculty at an academic medical center with strengths in global health and cancer care. A cross-sectional survey was distributed to residents, fellows, and faculty in oncology and oncology-related specialties between May and November 2025. The 33-question survey assessed demographics, prior oncology and global health experiences, interests and barriers impacting participation, and institutional support. Descriptive analysis was performed. There were 46 and 45 eligible responses from trainees and faculty, respectively. Only 16 (34.8%) trainees and 25 faculty (55.6%) knew about global oncology, with only four trainees (8.7%) having prior experience. Most trainees (80.4%) and faculty (80%) expressed interest in learning more and participating. However, scheduling conflicts and limited funding prevented engagement, along with absent mentorship for trainees and family obligations for faculty. Most trainees felt global oncology involvement would build their cross-cultural competence (73.9%) and strengthen clinical knowledge and research skills (65.2%). However, only 8.7% felt that current institutional support was adequate (8.7%). Significant interest in global oncology exists among trainees and faculty, but limited prior exposure, along with absent funding, time, and institutional support, limit engagement. Expanding structured training opportunities and institutional investment could motivate increased global oncology involvement and train more oncology leaders to address cancer disparities globally.
