WHAT IS CANCER ?
One of the most significant Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the
world, the incidence of cancer is expected to keep increasing

In its Globocan report from 2018, the World
Health Organization (WHO) estimated that
there were 18.1 million new cases, 9.5
million cancer deaths, and 43.8 million
cancer survivors worldwide. According to
estimates, healthy lifestyles, the elimination
of risk factors like tobacco use, and
vaccination can prevent 30 to 50% of
cancer cases

WHO’s approach to noncommunicable disease prevention and control places
emphasis on the rising impact of cancer in low-income and middle-income
countries, and the disproportionate suffering it causes in poor and disadvantaged
populations. Two years ago we reviewed the progress in implementing national
cancer control programmes, as part of a strategy launched about a decade ago.
While many Member States recognize the need to develop national cancer control
programmes, few in the industrialized world and even fewer in developing countries
have yet done so. As a result many people die from preventable cancers and suffer
unnecessarily from pain and anguish at the end of their lives.
We have initiated a process for promoting and reinforcing the development of
national cancer control programmes as the best known strategy to address the cancer
problem worldwide. Updating and disseminating effective policies and guidelines
on national cancer control programmes and providing guidance on the development
of these programmes are key components of this strategy
PLANNING
7
Lack of a comprehensive, systematic approach, weaknesses in organization and
priority-setting, and inefficient use of resources are obstacles to effective
programmes in both industrialized and developing countries.
In far too many cases, primary prevention, early detection and palliative care
are neglected in favor of treatment-oriented approaches, regardless of whether
they are actually cost-effectiveness or whether they improve patients’ quality of
life. This happens because of lack of knowledge, lack of political will and lack
of national capacity in policy development and programme implementation.

SWOT ANALYSIS

CONCLUSION
Health promotion goal is to reduce the morbidity and mortality from cancer
and improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families,
everywhere in the world where the cancer burden is high or there are rising
trends of cancer risk factors.
In close collaboration with the World Health Organization, the
International Union Against Cancer (UICC) promotes the participation of non
governmental organizations in the development and implementation of
national and regional cancer control strategies, and helps to build the capacity
in these organizations in the areas of cancer prevention and early detection,
particularly through educational and training programmes. By its participation
in establishing a national cancer control strategy or plan, the nongovernmental
sector will be able to better understand its own role in providing cancer care
services, including support of cancer research.
