As we enter the third year of the global COVID-19 pandemic and broader social justice movement, long- standing inequities in health are again receiving heightened attention. This includes cancer, which continues to place a growing burden on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where nearly 70% of cancer cases are estimated to occur by 2040.1 Global cancer research has not always sought nor included perspectives from communities most impacted by cancer, particularly those in LMICs. It is important, therefore, to create spaces within the global cancer research community which allow a diversity of voices to be heard. Informed by such diverse perspectives, it is then incumbent upon organizations working in this space to rethink our models for cancer research to expand our ability to meet a goal of more equitable and effective cancer prevention and control.
