Le Dr Verna Vanderpuye, M.D., n\u00e9e le 6 f\u00e9vrier<\/sup> 1965 au Ghana, en Afrique de l’Ouest, a plus de 20 ans d’exp\u00e9rience dans la prise en charge du cancer par la radioth\u00e9rapie, la th\u00e9rapie syst\u00e9mique, la formation de jeunes \u00e9tudiants en m\u00e9decine, de m\u00e9decins, d’auxiliaires de sant\u00e9 et la recherche sur le cancer en Afrique. Elle est consultante principale au Centre national de radioth\u00e9rapie, d’oncologie et de m\u00e9decine nucl\u00e9aire de l’h\u00f4pital universitaire de Korlebu, \u00e0 Accra, au Ghana, et est affili\u00e9e \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 du Ghana, \u00e0 Accra. Ses int\u00e9r\u00eats portent sur les cancers du sein, les sarcomes, les cancers g\u00e9nito-urinaires, les cancers gastro-intestinaux et la recherche sur les particularit\u00e9s de la prise en charge du cancer en Afrique. <\/p>\n

En tant que femme oncologue pionni\u00e8re dans la r\u00e9gion de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, suite \u00e0 sa formation soutenue par l’American Cancer Society et l’AIEA \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 Howard et aux h\u00f4pitaux de l’universit\u00e9 de Chicago, le Dr Vanderpuye a encadr\u00e9 de nombreux jeunes professionnels r\u00e9gionaux et internationaux du cancer tout au long de leur formation, aux phases de d\u00e9but et de milieu de carri\u00e8re, en leur inculquant l’importance d’une approche holistique des patients tenant compte des facteurs \u00e9conomiques, socio-culturels et psychologiques par rapport aux preuves actuelles de la pratique. Cette approche a effectivement permis d’am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de vie, m\u00eame face \u00e0 des ressources limit\u00e9es, tout en suscitant des possibilit\u00e9s de recherche et en d\u00e9veloppant des approches pragmatiques et rentables pour la mise en \u0153uvre de nouvelles preuves. <\/p>\n

Elle est facilement accessible \u00e0 ses jeunes coll\u00e8gues, les encourageant \u00e0 trouver un \u00e9quilibre entre les stress et les distractions de la vie actuelle, l’engagement acad\u00e9mique, y compris la recherche, le professionnalisme et le d\u00e9veloppement des comp\u00e9tences dans son domaine d’expertise. Elle est actuellement secr\u00e9taire-tr\u00e9sori\u00e8re de l’AORTIC, ancienne directrice du programme d’oncologie clinique de son programme local de formation m\u00e9dicale postuniversitaire, membre de plusieurs comit\u00e9s d’organisations locales, r\u00e9gionales et internationales de lutte contre le cancer, notamment l’ASCO, l’ESMO, l’OMS et l’UICC. <\/p>\n

Le Dr Vanderpuye est une conf\u00e9renci\u00e8re internationale et est l’auteure\/co-auteure de 60 articles de revues \u00e0 comit\u00e9 de lecture, de chapitres de livres et de documents techniques, et elle parvient toujours \u00e0 entretenir un jardin bien soign\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22590,"template":"","custom-post-tag":[],"class_list":["post-22589","persons","type-persons","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nVerna Vanderpuye -
