Cancer research in the 57 Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, 2008–17

Abstract: Background and objectives: The 57 countries of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) are experiencing rapid increases in their burden of cancer. The First Ladies Against Cancer meeting at the 2016 OIC meeting in Istanbul committed to the importance of cancer control and the need for more evidence to support national cancer control planning (NCCP). Strong research systems are a crucial aspect of NCCP, but few data exist to support policy-makers across this political grouping Methodology: We identified a… Show more

“…To understand what research on COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 virus had been conducted germane to cancer patients, services and systems, we used an existing filter for cancer research, labelled ONCOL, which consisted of title words and the names of specialist cancer journals, to identify articles and reviews in the Web of Science (WoS, ©Clarivate Analytics) within between January 2019 and February 2021 [9]. Within this set, we downloaded papers (as text files including their bibliographic details) with the title words 'CORONAVIRUS OR SARS OR MERS OR COVID* OR SARS-*'.…”

“…Major emerging economies such as China are also hugely invested in SACT, particularly in next generation biologicals / immuno-oncology [ 17 ]. Nascent R&D systems, such as those across MENA [ 18 ] and Sub Saharan Africa [ 19 ] are also finding common cause in the same biopharmaceutical domains. This begs the questions as to what now constitutes true public good oncology research.…”

“…Of note, among the 163 data-driven publications, only 62 (38%) were performed in the UAE, while the remaining studies were performed abroad, with authors mostly having dual affiliations in the UAE and in centers outside the UAE, reflecting a high rate of international collaboration. 43 Overall, BC research productivity is evolving over time, although several evidence gaps continue to persist. The scope for basic and translational research is generally expanding within the UAE with the continued rise in the number of academic institutions and research programs dedicated to molecular and cellular research.…”
