Implication

Cross-sectional survey identifies funding and training challenges in cancer research professionals across LMICs, suggesting systemic reforms are needed.

Key Points

Approximately 70% of global cancer deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the urgent need for better oncology research.
Out of 206 respondents, 77.9% felt that current cancer research training programs were inadequate for developing competent professionals.
Funding difficulties were evident, with one-third of respondents always struggling to secure grants for their research projects.
A lack of coordinated policy and systemic support hampers cancer research, necessitating reforms in training, funding, and infrastructure.
