الرواد فى علاج الاورام فى مصر
تحرص الجمعيه المصريه لعلاج الاورام على تسجيل تاريخ بدء انشاء الكيانات الطبيه الحديثه لعلاج هذا المرض فى مصر حتى تتعرف الاجيال القادمه عن من ساهم فى ارساء قواعد و أساس هذا التخصص فى مصر
بدايه التفكير كانت فى الخمسينيات من القرن الماضى وذلك طبقا لما يرويه لنا الاستاذ الدكتورمحمود شريف الرئيس الشرفى للجمعيه المصريه لعلاج الاورام والعميد الأسبق للمعهد القومى للاورام ووزير الادارة المحلية الأسبق كان قسم ٢٤ جراحه بالقصر العينى برئاسة ا.د. شفيق شلبى متخصص فى الجراحات الكبرى ومنها جراحات الاورام وكان يدعم هذا القسم ا.د. اسماعيل محرز و ا.د. رياض فوزى، ا.د. لطفى ابو النصر وا.د. اسماعيل السباعي وكان علاج الاورام اناذاك يعتمد عَلى الاستصال الجذرى للورم حيث ان العلاج الاشعاعى والكيمائى كانا فى المراحل الاوليه
كوّن ا.د. السباعي قسما خاصا لجراحه الاورام فى القصر العينى القديم وكان هناك تنافس بين القطبين على رياسه القسم وتم تسويه .النزاع بمعرفه السيد محمد احمد مدير مكتب الرئيس الراحل جمال عبد الناصر فكان ا.د. لطفى ابو النصر رئيسا للقسم واتبعه ا.د السباعي بعد انتهاء فتره الرئاسه للقسم
كانت فكرة انشاء معهد متخصص لعلاج الاورام بدأت عندما خصصت الحكومه مبلغ ٥٠ مليون جنيه لإنشاء اما معهدا للامراض المتوطنه او لعلاج السرطان. ولما كان ا.د. لطفى ابو النصر يتمتع باتصالات شخصيه مع المؤسسة الرئاسية فبدأ فى انشاء معهد الاورام فى نهايه الستينيات ليكون اول معهد متخصص لعلاج الاورام خلال تخصصات منفصلة فى جراحه الاورام وطب الاورام والأطفال والعلاج الاشعاعى. وتم ارسال عدد من الأطباء لبعثات تخصيصية لدول أوروبية واليابان والولايات المتحدة الامريكيه للتخصص فى العلوم الأساسيه كًبيولوجيا الاورام وفرماكولوجيا علاج الاورام وغيرهما
لم يقصر دور اساتذه المعهد بقادة الجيل الاول والثانى على انشاء المعهد القومى بل امتد لإنشاء اول معهد لعلاج الاورام خارج القاهره وكان اول محطه هى مدينة طنطا فتم إنشاء معهد تابع لوزارة الصحة لعلاج السرطان وكانت هناك زيارات اسبوعية من فريق جراحى بقياده ا.د. السباعي، ا.د. محمود شريف وا.د. محمد عباس لإجراء جراحات متقدمة وتدريب الأطباء هناك وذلك بدون اى مقابل مادى
فى ذلك الحين اصبح العلاج لايقتصر على الجراحات الجذريه لأورام بل امتد الى استخدام العلاج الاشعاعى بالكوبالت المشع وتصدر المشهد ا.د. حسن عواض وا.د. سامى البدوى وا.د. محسن برسوم واساتذه اخرين لا يتسع المجال لذكر دورهم فى انشاء كوادر متخصصة من الأطباء و فيزيائيين وفنيين بالمعهد القومى للاورام بالقاهره
فى نهايه الستينيات ثبت فاعليه استخدام العلاج الكيمائى فى علاج الاورام وكانت ا.د. نازلى جاد المولى اول رئيس لقسم طب الاورام مع ا.د. رضا حمزه والذى اصبح الانً يضم عشرات من اعضاء هيئة التدريس
فى توقيت مقارب لبدء المعهد القومى فى علاج المرضى من كافه المحافظات كانت جامعه القاهره قد أسست قسما لعلاج الاورام بمنطلق طب الاورام الإكلينيكي بدون الفصل بين تخصصات علاج الاورام وكان للاستاذ الدكتور محمود محفوظ وزير الصحه الأسبق فى عهد الرئيس أنور السادات دورا محوريا فى انشاء مراكز اخرى فى أسيوط وجامعة عين شمس
لجامعه الاسكندرية دورا أساسيا فى انشاء تخصص لعلاج الاورام الإكلينيكي الذى بدأه ا.د. جمال مسعود وشاركه ا.د. احمد باديب والأستاذ الدكتوره ليلى موسى وتدرب فى ذلك القسم عشرات من الاساتذه هم الان رعاه مرضى الاورام فى مدينه الثغر بالاضافة لمعهد البحوث الطبيه الذى ساهم فى تدريب كوادر طبييه للعمل فى تشخيص وعلاج السرطان وذلك بإشراف ا.د. محى الدين الخرادلى
توالت الجامعات المصرية فى انشاء أقسام متخصصة لعلاج الاورام فى أسيوط والمنصورة وطنطا لعلاج المرضى فى مختلف المحافظات
وأدركت وزاره الصحه والسكان ضرورة انشاء مراكز متكاملة لعلاج الاورام فى مختلف المحافظات فتم انشاء اول مركز تابعا الوزارة بعد معهد طنطا فى أسيوط وهو معهد جنوب الوادي لعلاج الاورام وذلك إبان تولى ا.د. اسماعيل سلام وزاره الصحة وأعقب ذلك انشاء مراكز اخرى فى الأقصر وأسوان وسوهاج والفيوم والمنيا وكفر الشيخ وميت غمر وبلغ عدد المراكز التابعة لوزاره الصحه اربعة عِشره مركزا
وللمجتمع المدني دور متميز فى تقديم علاج مرضى الاورام بالمجان فكانت مبادره السيدة علا غبور بإنشاء اول مستشفى متخصص لعلاج الأطفال المصابين بالسرطان فيما عرف بمستشفى ٥٧٣٥٧ حيث قد تبرعت بمبلغ عشره مليون جنيه لبدايه العمل بالمستشفى
