In Paper 1, Nakata and colleagues highlight the wide spectrum of incidence, mortality, and survival estimates, and the need for quality population-based cancer data. In Paper 2, Khan and colleagues summarise the history and status of paediatric cancer trials and review challenges such as gaps in research infrastructure, insufficient funding support, and barriers to patient participation. In Paper 3, Tso and colleagues discuss the hurdles in providing long-term care for childhood cancer survivors and priorities for action to promote equitable and quality survivorship care in the Asian continent.
