dc.description.abstractGlobal Oncology is an important project and concept which has made significant strides in recent years. Its laudable achievements in tackling cancer’s medical and human impacts have worked to address the ‘oncological divide’. To strengthen the project’s core aims, we call to ‘provincialise’ its goals and techniques by bringing in voices of experts on the ground, in particular from the Global South. This is crucial to strengthening Global Oncology, setting its agendas, suturing its standards and norms with on-the-ground realities, and considering complex and diverse dynamics of difference and inequality. Through provincialising, we advocate for a move towards plural oncologies.
