摘要：

The onset of the Sudanese military conflict on April 15, 2023, has had a profound impact on the healthcare infrastructure across the entire nation. While wars impact all individuals with non-communicable diseases, cancer patients are particularly vulnerable. The war has influenced the treatment of Sudanese cancer patients in many ways. It has disrupted and delayed the diagnostic process, suspended surgery, and all forms of cancer management such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and palliative care. This unfortunate situation has likely worsened the outcomes for many Sudanese cancer patients. This editorial reflects the situation of cancer services in Sudan post conflict.
