Lancet Series 2018: Global Oncology
2018
This Lancet Oncology Series explores issues in addressing the growing cancer burden in low- and middle-income countries. The mortality rates associated with infectious diseases have decreased in these countries. As individuals are live longer, cancer will become a primary cause of morbidity and mortality—the effect of an aging population, access to new medicines, and lifestyle changes. The four papers in these series focus on the critical infrastructure required to tackle the burden of cancer, including cancer registries, surveillance, and new genomics technologies.
Series papers include:
- Cancer Surveillance in Northern Africa, and Central and Western Asia: Challenges and Strategies in Support of Developing Cancer Registries
- Tackling Cancer Burden in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries: Morocco as an Exemplar
- Harnessing Genomics to Improve Outcomes for Women with Cancer in India: Key Priorities for Research
- Population-Based Cancer Screening Programmes in Low-Income and Middle-Income Countries: Regional Consultation of the International Cancer Screening Network in India
