and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
are publishing a new edition of the ESMO/ASCO Global
Curriculum (GC) thanks to contribution of 64 ESMO-
appointed and 32 ASCO-appointed authors. First
published in 2004 and updated in 2010, the GC edition
2016 answers to the need for updated
recommendations for the training of physicians in
medical oncology by defining the standard to be
fulfilled to qualify as medical oncologists. At times of
internationalisation of healthcare and increased mobility
of patients and physicians, the GC aims to provide
state-of-the-art cancer care to all patients wherever they
live. Recent progress in the field of cancer research
has indeed resulted in diagnostic and therapeutic
innovations such as targeted therapies as a standard
therapeutic approach or personalised cancer medicine
apart from the revival of immunotherapy, requiring
specialised training for medical oncology trainees.
Thus, several new chapters on technical contents such
as molecular pathology, translational research or
molecular imaging and on conceptual attitudes towards
human principles like genetic counselling or
survivorship have been integrated in the GC. The GC
edition 2016 consists of 12 sections with 17
subsections, 44 chapters and 35 subchapters,
respectively. Besides renewal in its contents, the GC
underwent a principal formal change taking into
consideration modern didactic principles. It is
presented in a template-based format that
subcategorises the detailed outcome requirements into
learning objectives, awareness, knowledge and skills.
Consecutive steps will be those of harmonising and
implementing teaching and assessment strategies
