纽约州宣布癌症治疗培训合作：布法罗罗兹韦尔帕克将为波多黎各培训细胞与基因治疗人才
美国纽约州州长霍楚尔11月6日在SOMOS大会上宣布一项癌症治疗培训合作：纽约州西部的罗兹韦尔帕克综合癌症中心将与波多黎各的圣胡安市医院、波多黎各大学综合癌症中心合作，设立高级细胞与基因治疗临床奖学金，培训波多黎各的癌症专科医护人员。
罗兹韦尔帕克综合癌症中心位于纽约州伊利县布法罗市，是美国国家癌症研究所指定的综合癌症中心。按公布的安排，这项奖学金为期一年，首期学员将赴布法罗接受临床轮转培训，课程由该中心医生布莱恩·贝茨（Brian Betts）按美国移植与细胞治疗学会（ASTCT）的指南设计，内容聚焦细胞与基因治疗这一癌症治疗前沿领域。
罗兹韦尔帕克首席执行官坎迪斯·约翰逊（Candace S. Johnson）表示，合作的目标不只是培训个人，而是帮助波多黎各建立可持续的癌症服务能力，让当地患者能在离家更近的地方获得先进治疗。
细胞与基因治疗（包括CAR-T等疗法）对人员与设施要求极高，加勒比地区具备完整培训能力的中心有限。纽约州与波多黎各之间长期有紧密的人员往来，州政府把这项合作定位为两地医疗能力建设的一环。首期学员的选拔与赴布法罗时间将由三家机构后续公布。（来源：纽约州州长办公室）
New York Announces Cancer Care Training Partnership: Buffalo's Roswell Park to Train Cell and Gene Therapy Fellows from Puerto Rico
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced a cancer care training partnership on November 6 at the SOMOS conference: Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in western New York will work with San Juan City Hospital and the University of Puerto Rico Comprehensive Cancer Center to create an advanced clinical fellowship in cell and gene therapy, training Puerto Rican cancer specialists.
Roswell Park, located in Buffalo, Erie County, is a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. Under the announced arrangement, the fellowship runs for one year, with the first cohort traveling to Buffalo for clinical rotations. The curriculum was designed by Roswell Park physician Brian Betts following guidelines of the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT), focusing on cell and gene therapy, a frontier field of cancer treatment.
Roswell Park President and CEO Candace S. Johnson said the goal goes beyond training individuals: the partnership is meant to help Puerto Rico build sustainable cancer care capacity so patients can receive advanced treatment closer to home.
Cell and gene therapies, including CAR-T treatments, demand highly specialized staff and facilities, and few centers in the Caribbean offer full training capacity. New York and Puerto Rico share deep population ties, and the state framed the partnership as part of health-capacity building between the two. The three institutions will announce selection of the first fellows and their Buffalo rotation schedule in due course. (Source: Office of the Governor of New York)
