  \n\n\nAbstract:\n\nCancer mortality in Small Island Developing States (SI
 DS) is significantly higher than in larger and more affluent regions\, lar
 gely due to delayed detection\, limited access to treatment\, and reliance
  on overseas care. This seminar explores innovative cancer control models 
 tailored to isolated and resource-constrained settings\, with a focus on t
 he Eastern Caribbean. Through mixed-methods approaches\, we examine the im
 pact of community-based screening\, factors influencing early help-seeking
  behavior\, and the role of medical travel in cancer survival. Drawing on 
 collaborations with Caribbean scientists\, policymakers\, patient support 
 groups and clinicians\, this work aims to enhance cancer outcomes and redu
 ce disparities in SIDS.\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\nDr. Aviane Auguste is an Assis
 tant Professor from Saint Lucia at the Department of Epidemiology\, Biosta
 tistics and Occupational health. He graduated from the 'Université des Ant
