abstract = {Cancer is becoming a massive public health burden in low-
and middle-income countries (LMIC). $70\%$ of all cancer
deaths globally are attributed to LMIC while the incidence
proportion is below $60\%.$ The main reason for the higher
mortality rate is 'late-stage presentation' of patients with
stage III or IV diseases when being diagnosed. Main reasons
for this are limited (financial) resources, poor knowledge
of health service provider about cancer, misbelieves and
fear among patients as well as low health literacy rate.
During the 1st International Conference on Hospital
Partnerships, conducted by the German Agency for
International Cooperation (GIZ), cancer specialists from
seven LMIC and Germany discussed opportunities, challenges
and solutions of the development of cancer services. Two
days of in-depths discussion identified five topics to be
playing a key role in the effort to reduce the cancer burden
in LMIC: Health Policy $\&$ Financing, Barriers to Access,
Capacity Building, Cancer Registries and Adapted Treatment
Guidelines. By using mind-mapping technique, stakeholders,
core topics, main and important topics were visualized and
interconnections displayed. Many topics can be addressed
through international cooperations but political willingness
and commitment in the respective countries plays the crucial
role. An essential contribution will be to assist policy
makers in formulating and endorsing affordable and effective
health policies. Another lesson learned from this workshop
is the similarity of challenges among the participating
representatives from different LMIC. The authors of this
letter emphasize on the importance of building international
long-term cooperations to advance oncology care on a global
scale.},
