eCancer treatment in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) differs substantially from that in high-income countries (HIC), and these differences are the focus of this chapter. In looking at these differences in cancer treatment, this chapter discusses healthcare disparities between LMIC and HIC, the importance of paediatric cancer units (PCU) (recruitment, training, and retention of personnel, continuous quality improvement, development of PCUs, and national paediatric oncology programmes), protocol-based care (adapted treatment regimens and clinical research, regional and global networks), treatment challenges in LMIC (toxicity of treatment, abandonment of treatment, palliative care), and advocacy.
