Abstract

Managing cancer under ideal conditions is a daunting prospect, to say the least. Treating cancer in conflict areas, war zones or being a refugee with cancer, facing complex political, economic and health-related threats presents a colossal global challenge. Managing such patients requires close coordination with international bodies, nongovernmental organisations and national governments, mitigating the burden of cancer care provision to patients and host countries alike.

Keywords: cancer care; conflict areas; refugees; war.
