OBJECTIVE
To describe challenges faced by low-middle income countries (LMICs) across the cancer spectrum, with specific focus on gynecologic cancers.
METHODS
MEDLINE was searched for research articles published in English between January 1, 2000 and February 1, 2015 which reported on global health efforts in LMICs.
RESULTS
An estimated 80% of global cancer burden and only 5% of global cancer spending affect LMICs. The overwhelming majority of cervical cancer cases and related deaths occur in LMICs. The charge to close this cancer divide is at the center of global health efforts.
CONCLUSIONS
Prevention is central to global health efforts to close the cancer divide. The gynecologic oncology community is well positioned to lead efforts in global health by partnering with institutions, professional societies and advocacy groups.
目的
描述低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）在整个癌症领域所面临的挑战，特别关注妇科癌症。
方法
检索MEDLINE数据库，查找2000年1月1日至2015年2月1日期间以英文发表的、报道LMICs全球卫生工作的研究文章。
结果
估计全球80%的癌症负担仅占全球癌症支出的5%，这影响到了LMICs。绝大多数宫颈癌病例及相关死亡发生在LMICs。缩小这一癌症差距的任务是全球卫生工作的核心。
结论
预防是全球卫生工作缩小癌症差距的核心。妇科肿瘤学界有能力通过与机构、专业协会和倡导团体合作，引领全球卫生工作。
