ABSTRACT: Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality globally, with its burden particularly acute in low-and middle-income countries like Bangladesh. This study investigates the socio-economic and financial factors influencing cancer treatment accessibility and outcomes in Bangladesh. Drawing on epidemiological data, healthcare infrastructure analysis, and expert insight, the research highlights critical barriers such as limited healthcare access, financial constraints, and public health awareness deficits. Recommendations include expanding rural healthcare infrastructure, implementing targeted awareness campaigns, subsidizing treatment costs, and developing comprehensive insurance schemes. These interventions are vital for improving early diagnosis, equitable treatment delivery, and long-term cancer care outcomes in Bangladesh.
