  abstract = {{B}ackground{C}ancer is a growing public health concern in {A}frica and {A}sia, where access to effective healthcare and resources is often limited. {T}here is an urgent need for evidence-based cancer control policies in {A}frica and {A}sia, along with systems for prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and palliative care. {T}his emerging issue has garnered growing interest from international institutions but there has been little visible action, and the existing knowledge remains scattered and fragmented. {T}his scoping review aims to explore the breadth and scope of evidence regarding knowledge transfer interventions to enhance cancer care in {A}frica and {A}sia.{M}ethods{W}e conducted a systematic search of {E}mbase, {E}mcare, {ERIC}, {APA} {P}syc{I}nfo, {M}edline, and {G}oogle {S}cholar, supplemented by expert bibliographies and references. {P}eer-reviewed empirical studies in {E}nglish or {F}rench from {J}anuary 1978 to {S}eptember 2024 were included. {D}ata were organised using the {AIMD} ({A}ims, {I}ngredients, {M}echanism & {D}elivery) framework. {S}tudy quality was presented using the {M}ixed {M}ethods {A}ppraisal {T}ool.{R}esults{T}he scoping review examined seven articles providing evidence on five unique interventions. {T}he interventions included target both decision-makers and health professionals and aim to strengthen evidence-based cancer control policies and implementation strategies. {T}he interventions documented have all been initiated by external actors, mainly international institutions or researchers from high-income countries, in collaboration with {A}frican and {A}sian stakeholders. {I}n addition, some researchers have been involved in participatory research projects designed to enable decision-makers to implement evidence-based cancer control policies and programmes.{C}onclusions{T}his scoping review highlights a critical lack of evidence on knowledge transfer interventions in cancer care across {A}frica and {A}sia, partly due to limited funding for non-communicable diseases. {I}t calls for the integration of knowledge transfer components into all cancer research and interventions, supported by robust evaluation strategies, to develop evidence-based, economically feasible, and culturally appropriate policies, guidelines and interventions that can be used in nations with limited healthcare resources to improve cancer outcomes.},
