Description of CME Course
Cancer continues to be a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Many LMICs, however, lack adequate data to better understand and respond to trends in cancer incidence. This article highlights crucial roles that government and public-private coalitions can play in cancer surveillance in LMICs. In particular, local and global investment in LMICs can build essential structures for cancer prevention and early detection, including public health surveillance systems and cancer control coalitions. Using examples from LMICs that show the promises and pitfalls of these approaches, this article argues that comprehensive cancer control can motivate health equity.
