Addressing the growing cancer burden in the wake of the AIDS epidemic in botswana: The BOTSOGO collaborative partnership

International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics, Volume 89, No. 3, Year 2014

Botswana has experienced a dramatic increase in HIV-related malignancies over the past decade. The BOTSOGO collaboration sought to establish a sustainable partnership with the Botswana oncology community to improve cancer care. This collaboration is anchored by regular tumor boards and on-site visits that have resulted in the introduction of new approaches to treatment and perceived improvements in care, providing a model for partnership between academic oncology centers and high-burden countries with limited resources. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
