The ESMO-ASCO Global Curriculum Task Force outlined the curriculum with the goal of defining standards in guiding the training of medical oncologists worldwide and to ensure that all patients have an equal chance of receiving treatment from well-trained physicians.
The first edition of the Curriculum was published in 2004 and distributed worldwide to universities, training hospitals, and medical oncology societies. It has been published in 11 different languages and used as a model for development of the speciality of medical oncology in several countries around the world.

The chapters included in the second, 2010 edition of the Curriculum are based on contributions from esteemed experts around the world and shaped to a significant degree by the rapid advances in the management of patients with malignant diseases in the short time since the first edition was produced.
