Overview of the project(English)

Greetings to all readers of this page.

I am Masami Tsuchiya, the Japan Team Oncology Program (J-TOP) Chairperson.

As a pharmacist specializing in oncology, I work at a cancer center in the Tohoku region of Japan. I aim to ensure that patients receive their cancer treatment safely.

 

What is the Japan Team Oncology Program (J-TOP)?

J-TOP provides a program for healthcare professionals involved in cancer care in Japan and Asia. We focus on promoting a multidisciplinary team approach (TeamOncology) based on the MD Anderson Cancer Center's systematic multidisciplinary approach. Educational activities for healthcare professionals are a central aspect of J-TOP, aimed at enabling patients to play a significant role in TeamOncology.

 

  1. Workshops: Workshops on leadership, career development, and other topics relevant to a multidisciplinary team approach
  2. JME (Japan Medical Exchange program): Sending healthcare professionals to the MD Anderson Cancer Center for on-the-job training
  3. Bulletin Board: Providing an online platform for communication and support between patients and healthcare professionals
  4. ECHO One Clinic: Free online learning sessions for healthcare professionals on a variety of topics

 

Are you familiar with the concept of "Multidisciplinary team approach" or "TeamOncology"? This type of "team approach" is essential for today’s cancer treatment. As new therapies and drugs are continually introduced, it is no longer sufficient for a single physician working alone to treat cancer safely and effectively.   Today's "TeamOncology" involves a variety of specialized and trained physician, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, rehabilitation team members, and other ancillary staff working together with the patient to provide care.

 

J-TOP, founded by Dr. Naoto Ueno (Director of the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center), was the first to introduce the concept of "TeamOncology" in Japan and has provided educational opportunities to over 1,000 healthcare professionals nationwide.

 

However, due to the depreciation of the yen and changes in the medical environment, it is becoming increasingly challenging to offer continuing education opportunities in the future.

 

J-TOP celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2021. Therefore, we kindly request your financial assistance in supporting our efforts to continue sending out healthcare professionals trained in "TeamOncology" throughout Japan for the next 20 years. Your support is greatly appreciated.

 

Coexisting with cancer

It is estimated that one in two people in Japan will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and one in three people will succumb to it. Cancer is no longer just a distant concept depicted in dramas or novels but a condition that has become pervasive in our daily lives. However, recent advancements in medical technology and the development of new drugs have made it possible for individuals to live with cancer. Approximately 448,000 people nationwide (2018 survey*) are working while undergoing cancer treatment, and people of all ages and conditions manage their daily lives while undergoing cancer treatment.

*Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Guidelines for Supporting Workplace Workers in Balancing Work and Medical Treatment (overall version), revised March 2022

 

Although cancer has become a common disease, the number of healthcare professionals specializing in cancer treatment remains limited. In addition, medical professionals with specialized education tend to be concentrated in urban areas, and there may be a shortage of this kind of healthcare professionals in rural areas.

 

What we can do with your support

Your support will be used as operating funds for future workshops organized by J-TOP.

 

This time, we have set the first goal at 1.5 million yen to fund J-TOP's workshop in Tokyo in January 2024. We will report to our supporters about the workshop and a report on income and expenditure after the workshop.

 

Our goal is to train healthcare professionals in "TeamOncology" principles and equip them to provide safe and effective care to cancer patients in their local communities and throughout Asia.

 

 

J-TOP's "TeamOncology" Education

J-TOP has provided educational opportunities on the multidisciplinary team approach for the past 20 years with the help of staff from the MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States.

 

Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists involved in cancer care in the U.S. are invited as lecturers to teach communication skills, career development as a medical professional, leadership, and psychological safety through a 3-day (currently 4-day) workshop. At first glance, these may seem unrelated to cancer care. Still, these are essential elements for building a good and well-functioning team.

 

J-TOP believes that higher quality cancer care can be provided by allowing each team member to work autonomously, learn from one another, and occasionally bounce ideas off each other. In recent years, a growing number of medical professionals from Asian countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam have participated in J-TOP workshops, sharing information about the situation in their countries and creating new networks.

 

Dr. Saji’s comment

The term "multidisciplinary team approach" is no longer just a phrase uttered in medical school admissions interviews. First, however, you need to experience the essence of team medicine and know what is essential to practice it for the benefit of patients. J-TOP has been working for this purpose for over 20 years.

 

And to maintain our work and develop it into something more international in the future, we need your help, encouragement, and support. So we would like your help and encouragement to sustain our activities and develop them into more international ones.

 

Commitment to training cancer medical professionals in Asia

J-TOP is committed to not only healthcare professionals in Japan but also in other Asian countries. Every year, participants from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Bangladesh attend J-TOP workshops and use their knowledge to establish their "TeamOncology" Programs in their home countries.

 

By 2022, the Taiwan TeamOncology Program (T-TOP) and the Vietnam TeamOncology Program (V-TOP) will host workshops, and the Philippines TeamOncology Program (P-TOP) plans to host a seminar in the Philippines in 2023.

We believe that forming culturally-rooted "teams" in each region will improve cancer care throughout Asia.  Participants from countries with developing economies like the Philippines and Vietnam may find it cost prohibitive to travel and to attend a J-TOP workshop.  It is vital that JTOP remains committed to support these programs so the concept of  "TeamOncology” concept taught at J-TOP workshops, is crucial for all healthcare professionals involved in cancer care, regardless of country, medical system, or culture.

Together with patients and survivors

At J-TOP workshops, group work is conducted with the participation of cancer survivors. Drawing on their own experiences as patients, these individuals highlight points that healthcare professionals may omit or overlook. We also hope that survivors who participate will lead the way in a patient-centered team approach from the patient perspective. We will continue to train healthcare professionals in the field of oncology who value the patient-centered viewpoint, not the healthcare provider-oriented.
