Guiding Cancer Control by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on a National Strategy for Cancer Control in the United States Pdf

Throughout history, perhaps no other disease has generated the level of social, scientific, and political discourse or has had the degree of cultural significance as cancer. A collective in the truest sense of the word, "cancer" is a clustering of different diseases that afflict individuals in different ways. Its burdens are equally broad and diverse, from the physical, financial, and psychological tolls it imposes on individuals to the costs it inflicts upon the nation's clinical care and public health systems, and despite decades of concerted efforts often referred to as the "war on cancer", those costs have only continued to grow over time. The causes and effects of cancer are complexâ€"in part preventable and treatable, but also in part unknown, and perhaps even unknowable. Guiding Cancer Control defines the key principles, attributes, methods, and tools needed to achieve the goal of implementing an effective national cancer control plan. This report describes the current structure of cancer control from a local to global scale, identifies necessary goals for the system, and formulates the path towards integrated disease control systems and a cancer-free future. This framework is a crucial step in establishing an effective, efficient, and accountable system for controlling cancer and other diseases.

Cancer Control by Anonim Pdf

Because of the wealth of available knowledge, all countries can, at some useful level, implement the four basic components of cancer control -- prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and palliative care -- and thus avoid and cure many cancers, as well as palliating the suffering. These guides provide practical advice for program managers and policy-makers on how to advocate, plan and implement effective cancer control programs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Module 1 shows how to create a cancer control plan that responds to the needs of the people, is based on evidence, and ensures that limited resources are used in an efficient and equitable way, and offers step-by-step advice for developing a cancer control plan. Module 2 investigates how to implement effective cancer prevention by controlling major avoidable cancer risk factors. Module 3 examines how to implement effective early detection of major types of cancer that are amenable to early diagnosis and screening. Module 4 covers how to implement effective cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly linked to early detection programs or curable cancers. Module 5 shows how to implement effective palliative care for cancer, with a particular focus on community-based care. Module 6 investigates how to advocate for policy development and effective program implementation of cancer control.

Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control by World Health Organization Pdf

Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.
