Abstract

Patient advocacy has the potential to contribute to effective cancer care with real-world impact, regardless of a country's socioeconomic status. Here, we asked representatives of patient advocacy groups for key considerations to overcome challenges when starting out in resource-limited settings. We are grateful to them for sharing their voices and for their relentless fight toward making cancer care more accessible.
