LUMATI AWARDED GLOBAL ONCOLOGY AWARD FROM ASCO'S CONQUER CANCER FOUNDATION

Featuring: Juliet S. Lumati, MD, MPH

​Juliet Lumati, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Surgical Oncology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, has been selected to receive a 2025 Global Oncology Young Investigator Award (GO YIA) from the Conquer Cancer Foundation of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The award provides research funding to early career investigators to encourage and promote quality research in global oncology, and to develop the next generation of researchers to address global health needs.

Dr. Lumati, a member of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Robert J. Havey, MD Institute for Global Health’s joint Center for Global Oncology, is one of only five investigators who will be presented with GO YIAs at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting held in Chicago, May 30 – June 3. The award will support her study, “Evaluating the Impact of Financial Navigation on Financial Toxicity and Treatment Adherence for Cancer Care: A Randomized Control Trial- COST-FIN,” aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a novel financial navigation program to improve access to quality care for cancer patients in Nigeria.

A hepatopancreaticobiliary and gastrointestinal surgical oncologist at Northwestern Medicine, Lumati is actively involved in health services research within the context of global oncology, with a focus on health care financing in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last decade, she has been involved in global health efforts, specifically focused on health care financing in SSA (Ghana and Nigeria).

Lumati was a NIH Fogarty Fellow in the University of California Global Health Institute and is a member of the African Research Group for Oncology (ARGO), an NCI-recognized collaborative research consortium in Africa. She is an active member of the Association for Academic Surgery and the Society of Surgical Oncology’s International Committee and an avid reviewer for multiple journals focused on global health.

In the last five years, Lumati has also worked as a part-time surgical oncology consultant at Lakeshore Cancer Center, the first comprehensive cancer center in Nigeria. Her long-term plans include improving access to cancer care in SSA by strengthening multidisciplinary care, inclusive of surgery, through health care financing.

Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation, will present more than $11.5 million in funding through more than 450 grants and awards spanning multiple areas of cancer care.
