Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: In 2020 the UK Global Cancer Network (UKGCN) was formed to unite those in the UK interested in Global Oncology and to strengthen collaborative partnerships with stakeholders working across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in cancer health systems, governance, and care. The UKGCN undertook a mapping exercise to document collaborations to inform the UK\'s global oncology strategy.
METHODS: A semi-structured survey was developed and disseminated using a snowball method over ten weeks from February 2021 across the UK\'s cancer community, to identify individuals and institutions engaged in clinical practice, research, and/or education with partners in LMICs. The survey was sent to individuals in NHS hospitals, charities, universities, other organisations, UKGCN members, and to contacts identified by a literature and web search.
RESULTS: A total of 639 invitations were sent, and 88 responses were received. Results demonstrate a range of collaborative efforts spanning many areas of cancer control: health promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, survivorship, and palliative care. A wide range of countries were represented from Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, the MENA region, China, and South-East Asia. The projects included education and training (146), clinical practice/care (144), and research (226).
CONCLUSIONS: This mapping exercise demonstrated considerable UK collaboration with stakeholders in LMICs across all three domains of education, clinical care, and research. The survey results provide an initial framework from which to promote in-depth strategic intelligence on the broad range of activities undertaken by the UK global oncology community. This information has been used as a catalyst to create new partnerships and connect colleagues working in similar geographical settings, encouraging bidirectional learning. The UKGCN will galvanise endeavours to improve equitable access to cancer services globally.

摘要：
目标：2020年，英国全球癌症网络（UKGCN）成立，以团结英国对全球肿瘤学感兴趣的人，并加强与低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）在癌症卫生系统中工作的利益相关者的合作伙伴关系。治理，和关心。UKGCN开展了一项绘图工作，以记录合作，为英国的全球肿瘤学战略提供信息。
方法：从2021年2月开始，在英国癌症社区的十周内，使用滚雪球方法开发并传播了一项半结构化调查，确定从事临床实践的个人和机构，研究,和/或与低收入国家的合作伙伴进行教育。该调查已发送给NHS医院的个人，慈善机构,大学,其他组织,UKGCN成员,以及通过文献和网络搜索确定的联系人。
结果:共发出639份邀请,收到88份答复。结果显示了一系列跨越癌症控制许多领域的合作努力：健康促进，预防,诊断和治疗,幸存者，和姑息治疗。来自撒哈拉以南非洲的许多国家都有代表，南美洲,中东和北非地区,中国,和东南亚。这些项目包括教育和培训(146)，临床实践/护理（144），研究（226）。
结论：这项制图工作表明，英国与低收入国家的利益相关者在所有三个教育领域进行了大量合作，临床护理,和研究。调查结果提供了一个初步框架，可从该框架中促进对英国全球肿瘤学界开展的广泛活动的深入战略情报。这些信息已被用作催化剂，以建立新的伙伴关系，并联系在类似地理位置工作的同事，鼓励双向学习。UKGCN将努力改善全球癌症服务的公平获取。
