Abstract

The article focuses on the cancer treatment disparities in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), where cancer mortality rates are higher compared to high-income countries. It discusses the challenges arising from lack of quality cancer registries, differences in survival rates, financial toxicity, and barriers to access essential cancer medications in LMICs.
