  1. Abstract:

    In 2017, the Kenya Ministry of Health launched the National Cancer Control Strategy 2017-2022. A scoping review of oncology research in Kenya was conducted to understand the scope of, and gaps in, existing research and inform the development of the national cancer research agenda. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Global Health databases were searched using controlled vocabulary and keywords to identify oncology research with a study site in Kenya, published in English, from 2007-2017. Fifteen journals and additional grey literature sources were hand searched. Screening of titles, abstracts, and full text was completed by pairs of two reviewers with a third reviewer reconciling discrepancies. From included studies, data were extracted and coded using Google Forms. Microsoft Excel was used for descriptive statistics.
