In Canada, almost 90% of children with leukemia survive. In the poorest countries only 10%. A child with retinoblastoma in a high-income country can hope to preserve vision and life; in LMICs neither.

Diagonal Strategies
Delivery: Harness platforms by integrating cancer prevention, screening and survivorship into MCH, SRH, HIV/AIDs, social welfare/anti-poverty programs.
C) Can be done
Myth 4: Impossible
1/3-1/2 of cancer deaths are avoidable; 2.4-3.7 millions deaths, 80% in LIMCs
Investing In CCC: The costs to close the cancer divide may be less than many fear:
All but 3 of 29 LMIC priority, candidate cancer chemo and hormonal agents are off-patent: many available for under $100 per course Cost of drug treatments for cervical cancer, HL, and ALL in children in LMICs per year of incident cases is $US 280 million Prices drop: HPV 2011: $US 100 per dose to PAHO $14 and GAVI $5 Pain medication is cheap
A) Should be done: necessary and appropriate B) Could be done: affordable C) Can be done
Myth 4: Impossible
