Abstract
- Breast, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar cancers pose a significant risk to women's lives in low- and middle-income countries due to increasing incidence and presentation with advanced stage disease. There are challenges to screening and early detection and limitations in access to treatment and palliative care, and the current global health care workforce is insufficient. However, there is promise in development of telehealth strategies, task shifting, and increasing number of physician training programs to help address currently unmet needs.<br />Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflict of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
