美國臨床藥學專家於澳大談緩解癌症生存者未盡之需
澳門大學今（3）日舉辦“大學講壇”，由美國加州大學爾灣分校藥學院臨床藥學系創系主任及教授Alexandre Chan以“癌症生存者的未盡之需：我們的研究機遇”為題發表演講，分享對緩解癌症生存者未滿足需求的臨床和研究經驗。
澳大副校長許敬文致辭時表示，Alexandre Chan是藥物治療和腫瘤藥學領域的專家。他亦是新加坡國立癌症中心客座教授，目前是國際癌症支持治療協會（MASCC）的候任主席，以及美國臨床藥學院（ACCP）院士和國際腫瘤藥學從業者協會（ISOPP）會士。Alexandre Chan在醫學和藥學期刊上發表了 290 多篇與癌症支持性療法、癌症生存者等主題相關的論文，其研究項目吸引了美國及新加坡的政府機構、基金會和製藥公司合共超過 700 萬美元的支持。
講座上，Alexandre Chan提到鑒於全球癌症患者激增，其實驗室與國際組織合作進行了大量研究，分析患者從確診癌症到治療及其後的復健對身體、心理、情感、社會和經濟的影響，以改善對癌症患者的支援和藥物護理。通過對未滿足需求的評估，其實驗室的研究發現了許多緩解癌症生存者未盡之需的機會。Alexandre Chan分享了其實驗室為減少癌症生存者未滿足需求所做的持續努力，為在場人士帶來啟發。
問答及交流環節由澳大中華醫藥研究院院長陳新主持，Alexandre Chan與參與者交流互動，討論氣氛熱烈。
