In this edition of the SLAI Newsletter, we explore how the SWOG Latin America Initiative is actively engaging SWOG disease committees in discussions about future research collaborations that benefit both the US and Latin America. This issue focuses on promising partnerships in gastrointestinal and lymphoma research. A special shoutout to Natalia Jara, Javier Retamales, Iván Lyra González, and Luis Malpica Castillo! Your research ideas and contributions are gaining well-deserved recognition within the SWOG Cancer Care Network. We’re thrilled to celebrate your achievements! In gratitude to the many people who are supporting these and other collaborative efforts to advance clinical research in Latin America and improve the lives of patients living with cancer. https://lnkd.in/e46fjcqr #SWOGonc #clinicaltrials #SWOGLatinAmerica #LatinoResearchers

I am thrilled to share that our latest manuscript, “Implementing Standard Diagnosis and Treatment for Locally Advanced Breast Cancer through Global Research in Latin America - Results from a Multi-Country Pragmatic Trial,” is published online. This work embodies my vision for #OncologyResearch: to establish a #pragmatic, #collaborative network that pushes the boundaries of scientific discovery, and also ensures these advancements are applicable and beneficial in #RealWorld settings. By focusing on multi-country cooperation, this study harnesses diverse resources and expertise to address the challenges faced by locally advanced #BreastCancer treatments in #LatinAmerica. This project has been about building capacity and fostering sustainable improvements in cancer care, especially within underserved populations. Through this initiative, we’ve been able to enhance local expertise and infrastructure, empowering hospitals and community centers to deliver better care and hope to those who need it most. I am immensely proud of what we’ve achieved with this study, and I am grateful for the support of all the colleagues, collaborators, and the communities that participated. Together, we are making a difference. #GlobalHealth #GlobalOncology #CancerResearch
