## Abstract

Managing cancer under ideal conditions is a daunting prospect, to say the least. Treating cancer in conflict areas, war zones or being a refugee with cancer, facing complex political, economic and health-related threats presents a colossal global challenge. Managing such patients requires close coordination with international bodies, nongovernmental organisations and national governments, mitigating the burden of cancer care provision to patients and host countries alike.
