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.

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.

In 2005, 7.6 million people died of cancer. More than 70% of those deaths occurred in low and middle income countries. WHO has developed a series of six modules that provides 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.The WHO guide is a response to the World Health Assembly resolution on cancer prevention and control (WHA58.22), adopted in May 2005, which calls on member states to intensify action against cancer by developing and reinforcing cancer control programs. This specific module investigates how to implement effective early detection of major types of cancer that are amenable to early diagnosis and screening.--Publisher's description.

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.

Cancer is low or absent on the health agendas of low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) despite the fact that more people die from cancer in these countries than from AIDS and malaria combined. International health organizations, bilateral aid agencies, and major foundations—which are instrumental in setting health priorities—also have largely ignored cancer in these countries. This book identifies feasible, affordable steps for LMCs and their international partners to begin to reduce the cancer burden for current and future generations. Stemming the growth of cigarette smoking tops the list to prevent cancer and all the other major chronic diseases. Other priorities include infant vaccination against the hepatitis B virus to prevent liver cancers and vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. Developing and increasing capacity for cancer screening and treatment of highly curable cancers (including most childhood malignancies) can be accomplished using "resource-level appropriateness" as a guide. And there are ways to make inexpensive oral morphine available to ease the pain of the many who will still die from cancer.
