In September 2012, over 100 experts in cancer research in Africa met in London to discuss the challenges in carrying out high-quality research in this continent. This Review summarizes the discussions and recommendations of this meeting and many examples of successful programmes that have enhanced the development of research in Africa. It also discusses the next steps required to create programmes that will enable evidenced-based cancer control approaches.
