| 520 | _aNow in a second edition this publication explains how national cancer control programmes integrated with existing health systems represent the best available method to control both the causes and the consequences of cancer. Recommendations are drawn from a strong conceptual management framework and from the practical experience of over 50 countries. This comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of cancer control including prevention treatment and palliation. It stresses the need for basing policies and programmes on evidence and promotes a systematic balanced and coordinated approach to their development and implementation. This new edition incorporates WHO's current policy advice on a range of risk factors and outlines global initiatives such as the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control which will complement national activities. The different resource settings in developed and developing countries are carefully considered and suggestions for national programmes tailored to individual country needs are clearly set out. . ..The breadth of the book will be useful that it provides a single reference point for those seeking to develop a conceptual framework in support of their cancer control activities. The content is well presented with good use of diagrams and case studies to enhance readability... - Cancer Forum . ..has a tremendous potential to help plan and standardize realistic national cancer control programmes. ..an invaluable guide for planners not only in cancer control but for other diseases as well - Indian Journal of Medical Research (from the 1st edition) | ||
