The objective of this scoping review is to describe and assess what cancer treatment interventions exist for forcibly displaced populations living with cancer in LMIC humanitarian settings in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region and what research has been done on these interventions.
Humanitarian aid usually provides short-term requirements for food, shelter, and trauma relief; long-term relief focuses mainly on communicable diseases and not non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cancer. However, no systematic search and synthesis resource of existing cancer care interventions for forcibly displaced populations in LMICs of the MENA region exists.
Original studies will be included on interventions for all types of cancer which are available to support forcibly displaced populations in settings of humanitarian crisis in Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, occupied Palestinian Territories, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
A scoping review will be conducted in accordance with JBI methods and guidelines and PRISMA reporting guidelines (S3 Appendix). PubMed, Global Health, Embase, Scopus, The Lens, Global Index Medicus, and CINAHL Complete will be searched for peer-reviewed articles published from January to until present. IOM, ReliefWeb, OSCE, UNHCR, WHO, OCHA, and ACLED will be searched for grey literature. A dual review using three reviewers will independently identify all relevant articles and extract data from them. A narrative summary of findings will be reported.
This scoping review will provide an overview of the available cancer interventions for forcibly displaced populations and describe the research done regarding these interventions. Potential gaps in the field will be identified.
本范围综述的目的是描述和评估中东和北非（MENA）地区低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）人道主义环境中患癌的被迫流离失所人群可获得哪些癌症治疗干预措施，以及针对这些干预措施开展了哪些研究。
人道主义援助通常满足食品、住所和创伤缓解等短期需求；长期援助主要侧重于传染病，而非癌症等非传染性疾病（NCD）。然而，目前尚无针对中东和北非地区低收入和中等收入国家被迫流离失所人群现有癌症护理干预措施的系统检索和综合资源。
将纳入关于所有类型癌症干预措施的原始研究，这些干预措施可用于支持吉布提、埃及、约旦、黎巴嫩、毛里塔尼亚、巴勒斯坦被占领土、索马里、苏丹、南苏丹、叙利亚和也门等人道主义危机地区的被迫流离失所人群。
将按照JBI方法和指南以及PRISMA报告指南（S3附录）进行范围综述。将检索PubMed、Global Health、Embase、Scopus、The Lens、Global Index Medicus和CINAHL Complete，以查找1月至当前发表的同行评审文章。将检索国际移民组织（IOM）、救济网（ReliefWeb）、欧安组织（OSCE）、联合国难民署（UNHCR）、世界卫生组织（WHO）、联合国人道主义事务协调厅（OCHA）和武装冲突地点及事件数据项目（ACLED），以查找灰色文献。将由三名评审员进行双重评审，独立识别所有相关文章并从中提取数据。将报告研究结果的叙述性总结。
本范围综述将概述可供被迫流离失所人群使用的癌症干预措施，并描述针对这些干预措施开展的研究。将确定该领域潜在的差距。
