Content
Cancer control is the term applied to the development of integrated population-based approaches to reduce the incidence and mortality from cancer and to minimize its impact on affected individuals and on the community. It covers a spectrum of prevention, early diagnosis, optimal treatment, and supportive and palliative care. It emphasizes the application of new knowledge gained through research to achieve current best practice. Cancer control has become a political priority in many countries in recent years, with the evolution of both national and regional cancer control strategic plans. The integrated nature of cancer control, involving a wide spectrum of health care professionals, researchers, and health managers and planners, is reflected in this multi-disciplinary text, which is the first in this rapidly developing field. Addresses an important population health concern with substantial medical and socio-economic impact Comprehensive across aspects of population health, medical practice, clinical care and well-being Incorporates issues related to quality of life, patient and public engagement, palliation and ethics Acknowledges contextual realities and differences between resource settings in relation to cancer control programme Written for a general audience, so no previous knowledge of the topic is assumed Mark Elwood , Vice-President, Family and Community Oncology, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, Canada, and Simon B.
