Cancer control<br />

The negative impact of <strong>cancer</strong> on individuals and communities<br />

can be greatly reduced through <strong>cancer</strong> control programmes.<br />

The scope of <strong>cancer</strong> control extends from prevention<br />

and screening to management of disease, rehabilitation<br />

and palliative care. Implementation of <strong>cancer</strong> control measures<br />

requires political will, resource mobilization, and a<br />

shared strategy involving governmental and nongovernmental<br />

organizations, in particular health services and community<br />

and patient groups. This challenge has been addressed by<br />

WHO through recommendations for the establishment of<br />

National Cancer Control Programmes. They focus particularly<br />

on the needs of developing countries and include global perspectives<br />

for a successful fight against <strong>cancer</strong>.<br />
