Excerpt from Annual Report of Program Activities, Vol. 4: National Cancer Institute, Fiscal Year 1981
Current optimal techniques for preventing or treating cancer must be considered as imperfect and as in a constant state of evolution. Despite this fact, great benefit could be derived if the entire population had access to current optimal techniques. One aspect of cancer control is, therefore, to determine, by expert consensus, the currently acceptable standard of management for all aspects of the health care continuum for particular cancers. Discrepancies between this baseline standard of management (esm) and the actual management practiced in particular communities can be ascertained and appropriate steps taken to achieve the baseline. Attempts to do this must, however, be predicated on the under standing that the baseline is dynamic and that today's standard is tomorrow's outmoded technology.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise historical overview of the Cancer Control Program of the National Cancer Institute. The program's formation in the 1970s was a significant moment: the National Cancer Act was passed, leading to the formation of the Cancer Control Program and the establishment of a variety of cancer prevention and management initiatives in the United States. Despite early efforts and some major breakthroughs in cancer management and treatment, the author posits that the program has not achieved its full potential in improving cancer outcomes. This book provides a detailed historical analysis of the program's development and offers its assessment of reasons for its shortcomings. The author also presents recommendations for how the program can improve to better meet the needs of cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers.
