In this context, the needs of displaced children with noncommunicable diseases such as cancer can unfortunately be overlooked because of the complexities of coordinating multidisciplinary care and a lack of resources for managing the acute toxicities of therapy. Innovative transnational collaborations in countries such as Lebanon can serve as models for the delivery of equitable cancer care during times of geopolitical turmoil. See also pages 000‐000.
