Third, there are few templates available for the development of comprehensive cancer control plans for liver cancer, and it is uncertain if general cancer-control frameworks, such as the one proposed by the WHO [ 9], are relevant for liver cancer control.
A conceptual framework for cancer control research [ 6], developed in Canada, was designed to foster a wide range of cancer control research activities.
As see in Figure 2, our comprehensive framework for national breast cancer control requires activities in several different areas (building capacity, developing evidence, removing barriers, and promoting advocacy).
The fourth theme of our comprehensive framework for national breast cancer control was promoting advocacy, which covers issues such as promoting patient empowerment, managing survivorship, the quality of life of women with breast cancer, the need to focus on metastatic disease, and the need for organized advocacy efforts in breast cancer.
Efforts to establish or improve cervical cancer screening should be planned and implemented in the framework of a comprehensive cancer control programme taking into account overall health care needs and priorities as well as feasible and cost-effective complementary preventive strategies, such as evidence-based primary prevention interventions [ 14, 24– 26].
We will describe what is known about the quality of oncology services for cancer control in developing countries in terms of Donabedian's framework [ 6].
We examined four of the 20 prespecified indicators, choosing specifically those common to both the UK Quality and Outcomes Framework and the Kaiser Permanente Northern California: screening for cervical cancer, control of hypertension, diabetes control, and screening for diabetic retinopathy.
The purpose of this study was to identify and compare important breast cancer control strategies in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa to develop a common framework as a guide to the development of national breast cancer control strategies.
It is well recognized that robust cancer surveillance frameworks are necessary in order to develop, implement, and evaluate adequate cancer control programs 78, 79.
To identify and compare the need for breast cancer control strategies in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East/North Africa and to develop a common framework to guide the development of national breast cancer control strategies.
