摘要:
肝胰胆癌是世界上诊断最多的癌症之一。然而,尽管高收入国家的发病率最高,但低收入和中等收入国家的死亡率最高。在本文中,我们描述了菲律宾经委员会认证的肝胰胆外科医生为患有这些疾病的患者提供手术治疗的地理分布。我们提请注意这些外科医生分布的地理差异以及导致缺乏机会的其他因素。最后,我们提出了前进的方向。版权所有 © 2023 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Hepatopancreaticobiliary cancers are among the most diagnosed cancers in the world. However, although high-income countries have the highest incidence rates, low- and middle-income countries have the highest mortality rates. In this article, we describe the geographic distribution of board-certified hepatopancreaticobiliary surgeons who provide surgical management for patients with these diseases in the Philippines. We draw attention to the geographic disparities in the distribution of these surgeons and the other factors that contribute to the lack of access. Lastly, we suggest ways forward.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
