Health policy: Towards greater equity in the global oncology workforceHealth policy: Towards greater equity in the global oncology workforce, Published online: 27 February 2018; doi:10.1038/nrclinonc.2018.31Despite the rising incidence of cancer in low-income and lower-middle-income countries, very few oncologists are present in these regions — or, in some areas, even none.
