THE W.H.O. PUBLIC HEALTH MODEL FOR CANCER CONTROL

• Assess the magnitude of the cancer problem

• Evaluate possible strategies for cancer control

• Choose priorities for initial cancer control activities of prevention, screening, therapy and palliative care

• Set measurable cancer control objectives REV

PALLIATIVE CARE• Palliative Medicine is the study and

management of patients with active, progressive, far-advanced disease for whom the prognosis is limited and the focus of care is the quality of life.”

SUMMARY

• Cancer is a Disease of Lifestyle With Both Host Resistance and Genetic Components

• 60-80% of the Risk factors for Cancer are Avoidable

• Putting Science Into Practice Leads to a Public Health Approach for Cancer Control Which Integrates Prevention, Screening, Treatment and Palliation at the National Level
