Abstract

Rising cancer survival rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) necessitate a paradigm shift to holistic, patient-driven care, focusing on meaningful outcomes aligned with individual values. Data, co-creation, continuous improvement, and collaboration are key. By prioritizing patient-defined metrics and patient empowerment, LMICs can transform cancer care, fostering sustained well-being beyond disease control.
