Now 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.
