Ethical Challenges in Short-Term Global Health Training

This series of cases introduces trainees and others involved in global health research and service to ethical issues that may arise during short-term training experiences abroad. Being able to recognize and navigate these issues is critical for avoiding harm to communities as well as facilitating a long-term, productive collaboration for the betterment of global health (1). The Working Group on Ethics Guidelines for Global Health Training (WEIGHT) has recently published best practice guidelines for this setting (2).

Using ten cases adapted from real-world experiences, this series builds on the WEIGHT guidelines and helps users identify and develop strategies for navigating some of these ethical issues. Although based on true scenarios, many details, including names and locales, have been changed to protect individual and institutional privacy and to assist in meeting educational objectives.

NEJM Knowledge+ - Question of the week

A 39-year-old man was admitted for a bowel obstruction and found to have a large obstructing colonic adenocarcinoma just proximal to the hepatic flexure. He underwent a successful right hemicolectomy. Pathology was consistent with an obstructing, 9-cm colon adenocarcinoma, with no evidence of lymph node involvement in 17 sampled nodes.

When asked about his family history, the patient states that his mother and maternal aunt were diagnosed with endometrial cancer at ages 56 and 59, respectively. His mother has no other siblings, but her father died in his early 40s of an unknown cause after several months of worsening abdominal pain and weight loss. The patient has two younger siblings and three children, all of whom are healthy.

What is the most likely underlying diagnosis in this case? » Peutz–Jeghers syndrome » Familial adenomatous polyposis (Gardner's syndrome) » BRCA » Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome) » Li–Fraumeni syndrome

Seht ihr den Mond dort stehen?
Er ist nur halb zu sehen,
und ist doch rund und schön!
So sind wohl manche Sachen,
Die wir getrost belachen.
Weil unsere Augen sie nicht sehen.
