Our current knowledge of the epidemiology and treatment outcome of lymphoma in low‐income countries is very limited. In the poorest countries only a small proportion of patients have access to treatment while clinical research is almost non‐existent. In order to address these problems and discuss potential solutions a Workshop on ‘ Epidemiology and Management of Lymphoma in Developing Countries: Challenges and Opportunities for International Collaborations ’ was held during the 10th International Conference on Malignant lymphoma in Lugano, Switzerland in June 2008 under the sponsorship of UICC, ESMO and ESO. We report here a summary of the discussed issues with some reflections on this workshop. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
