ABSTRACT

Cancer is the main public health problem in Brazil and the world, and if the National Oncological Care Policy is not modified, cancer will become the leading cause of death in the country in 2029. However, the guidelines of the Ministry of Education do not have oncology as a necessary or mandatory discipline in medical schools. It means despite all the importance of cancer globally and, not unlike in Brazilian society, there is no obligation for the discipline of oncology in Brazilian medical graduation, which incurs in the incomplete training of academics, not allowing them to develop concepts and skills with a vision integrated cancer. In this article, a group of specialists in oncology in the primary, clinical, surgical, radiotherapy, and cancer research areas, proposes a Cancerology discipline syllabus for undergraduate medical students in Brazil. We sought to present the objectives of the discipline, the subjects to be addressed, the format of the classes, and the workload in a systematic way.

RESUMO

O câncer é o principal problema de saúde pública do Brasil e no mundo, e se Nacional de Assistência Oncológica não for modificada, o câncer se tornará a principal causa de morte no país em 2029. No entanto, as diretrizes do Ministério da Educação não definem oncologia como disciplina necessária ou obrigatória nas escolas médicas. Apesar de toda a importância do câncer globalmente e, ao contrário das necessidades da sociedade brasileira, não existe obrigatoriedade da disciplina de oncologia na graduação médica brasileira, que incorre na formação incompleta de acadêmicos, não permitindo o desenvolvimento de conceitos e habilidades com uma visão integrada do câncer. Neste artigo, um grupo de especialistas em oncologia nas áreas de pesquisa básica, oncologia clínica e cirúrgica, e radioterapia, propõe um programa da disciplina de Cancerologia para alunos de graduação em medicina no Brasil. Neste trabalho apresentamos os objetivos da disciplina, os tópicos a serem abordados, o formato das aulas e a carga horária, de forma sistemática.
