Prof Tezer Kutluk speaks to ecancer about cancer care in emergencies.

Cancer care faces urgent challenges during global crises like wars and natural disasters.

Over 100 million displaced individuals struggle with long-term health issues, including interrupted cancer treatments. Host countries often lack the necessary infrastructure for adequate care.

Global initiatives, such as those from UICC, strive to enhance cancer care in these situations, but significant obstacles persist, leading to low survival rates for displaced cancer patients.

Prof Kutluk discusses how countries undergoing a crisis can be supported by the international community to improve the situation of cancer patients in those countries.
