 BHGI's work in Asia

BHGI guideline methodology applied to develop Asian cancer guidelines

The Asian Oncology Summit 2009 held in Singapore hosted six Cancer Suites in which expert panels developed resource stratified approaches for management of six cancer scenarios.  Each panel was directed to determine a resource-stratification approach appropriate for program development in Asia.

In its November 2009 issue, the prestigious British medical journal Lancet Oncology published  the resulting six cancer treatment guideline consensus manuscripts aimed at the resource-diverse nations of Asia, using the stratified-resource economic template developed by the Breast Health Global Initiative (BHGI).
