Introduction
George Evele developed an interest in oncology while working within the Childhood Cancer Unit of Baptist Hospital, Cameroon, during 2017 and 2018. This early exposure motivated his subsequent involvement in community-based childhood cancer awareness campaigns intended to reduce delayed presentation and improve access to timely treatment.[3]
Since January 2023, he has worked as a Medical Doctor and Research Assistant at Mbingo Baptist Hospital, where he manages paediatric and adult oncology cases while contributing to clinical research and cancer registry initiatives. His professional activities integrate patient care, multidisciplinary coordination, epidemiological analysis, and public health advocacy aimed at improving oncology outcomes in Cameroon.[4]
Research Profile
Dr. Evele’s research profile is centered on cancer epidemiology, oncology service delivery, and public health interventions in low-resource healthcare systems. His clinical and academic work focuses particularly on breast cancer outcomes, paediatric malignancies, treatment adherence, and psychosocial dimensions of oncology care.[5]
- Clinical oncology consultations involving paediatric and adult cancer patients at Mbingo Baptist Hospital.
- Participation in multidisciplinary oncology meetings coordinated with international healthcare institutions including the University of Leeds Hospital.
- Research on treatment abandonment and delayed presentation among women diagnosed with breast cancer in Cameroon.
- Cancer screening initiatives involving breast, cervical, and prostate cancer programs.
- Participation in paediatric oncology clinical trials involving Burkitt lymphoma treatment protocols.
Research Contributions
One of Dr. Evele’s major research efforts includes an eight-year retrospective clinical audit evaluating clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes among women diagnosed with breast cancer at Mbingo Baptist Hospital. This investigation identified substantial rates of loss to follow-up and treatment abandonment, highlighting important barriers to oncology care delivery in Cameroon.[5]
He additionally contributed to a pilot study examining challenges faced by adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer in resource-limited settings. The study demonstrated notable psychosocial burdens, including moderate depression and socioeconomic hardship among affected families.[1]
Dr. Evele has also participated in public health advocacy initiatives aimed at reducing the burden of cervical cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma through vaccination awareness campaigns, screening education, and community outreach activities.[2]
