Our Research Projects
Cancer prevalence will continue to grow in conflict-affected states. More research focusing on the prevention, timely detection, and practical ways of improving accessibility to cancer treatment is essential to inform the development of interventions targeting the risk factors and cancer disparities in conflict-affected states. The burden of the crisis is not universal for all countries and societies. Some countries, especially high-income ones, are well-prepared for disaster and have a pre-planned strategy for cancer care delivery in emergency satiations. While low- and middle-income countries, which on the one hand have a higher incidence of cancer and on the other hand are more exposed to natural and man-made disasters, are struggling to maintain adequate cancer care.
​
The Institute of Cancer and Crisis, in collaboration with researchers and academic institutions from all around the globe, explores the impact of different types of crises on cancer patients and issues affecting the accessibility of appropriate cancer care during and after the crisis.
Below you can find out about our ongoing research projects, as well as those that we have completed.
