| description | This open access book is an unprecedented and comprehensive book that delves deeply into the landscape of cancer care in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This ground-breaking book is set to become a go-to resource for those interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of the status quo of cancer care across the seven emirates. The book, edited by Prof. Humaid O. Al- Shamsi, a leading oncologist in the region and the President of the Emirates Oncology Society, embarks on a compelling journey by meticulously examining the evolving cancer policies, treatment modalities, and innovative approaches while celebrating notable success stories. At the same time, it sheds light on the persistent challenges and unmet needs that continue to impact cancer care in the UAE. Authored by a distinguished group of experts hailing from various sectors within the UAE, the book brings together perspectives from oncology specialists, researchers, healthcare policymakers, patient advocates, and other key stakeholders involved in patient management. It covers a diverse range of topics crucial to cancer care, including early detection, diagnosis, treatment options, supportive care services, survivorship, palliative care, and ongoing research initiatives. In addition to addressing the general aspects of cancer care, this pioneering book focuses on the unique factors and challenges specific to the UAE. It explores the impact of cultural and social factors, healthcare infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and the integration of technological advancements in cancer management. The book also examines the role of patient support organizations, patient empowerment, and community engagement in tackling the cancer burden. Each chapter in "Cancer Care in the UAE" offers valuable insights into the challenges faced by different disciplines involved in cancer care and provides a roadmap for transformative change. By presenting an overarching vision and strategic outlook for the next generation, the book serves as a catalyst for positive change in cancer care across the UAE. Endorsed by prestigious organizations such as the Emirates Oncology Society and the Emirates Medical Association, "Cancer Care in the UAE" stands as a testament to its credibility and relevance. This comprehensive book will undoubtedly contribute significantly to enhancing cancer care, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and ultimately improving outcomes for individuals affected by cancer in the UAE and wider region. |
