RESUMO
Cancer in developing countries is growing and will soon be a major problem as life expectancy increases. This article outlines the experience and future objectives of a partnership between Yemeni and Canadian oncology professionals in their attempt to develop a National Oncology Program in Yemen. We review current knowledge of the epidemiology, social, educational and economic challenges as well as suggested initial steps in developing a relevant oncology program for this society.
