Cancer Control in Refugee and Asylum Seeker Populations: A Scoping Review
Refugees and asylum seekers face persistent and multifaceted inequities in cancer care, shaped by both individual and systemic factors. Although some high-performing models and interventions exist, large gaps remain in research and service delivery. The findings emphasize the urgent need for an integrated strategy that incorporates the comprehensive cancer care needs of refugees and asylum seekers into national and international health policies.
