Download or read book Breast Cancer Screening written by Harri Vainio and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2002 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the leading site of new cancer cases in women. Breast cancer detection is currently primarily based on physical examination by health care professionals, chance findings by women, breast self-examination and mammography used for diagnosis or for routine screening. Early enough detection through mass screening with mammography has been introduced in many countries in the hope that early intervention would lead to reduced mortality and less aggressive treatment. The aim of this publication is to provide an independent, authoritative review of the evidence of the efficacy and effectiveness of breast cancer screening. This will be of value to governments, public health officials and others concerned with policy recommendations for cancer control.

Download or read book Cancer Care in Low Resource Areas written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though cancer was once considered to be a problem primarily in wealthy nations, low- and middle-income countries now bear a majority share of the global cancer burden, and cancer often surpasses the burden of infectious diseases in these countries. Effective low-cost cancer control options are available for some malignancies, with the World Health Organization estimating that these interventions could facilitate the prevention of approximately one-third of cancer deaths worldwide. But these interventions remain inaccessible for many people in the world, especially those residing in low-resource communities that are characterized by a lack of funds â€" on an individual or societal basis â€" to cover health infrastructure and care costs. Few guidelines and strategies for cancer control consider the appropriateness and feasibility of interventions in low-resource settings, and may undermine the effectiveness of these efforts. For example, interventions that are designed for high-resource settings may not account for important considerations in low-resource settings, such as resource constraints, infrastructure requirements, or whether a community has the capacity to deliver downstream cancer care. Patients in resource-constrained communities continue to face delayed diagnoses of cancer, potentially resulting in the diagnosis of later stage cancers and worsened patient outcomes. In addition, social stigmas, geopolitical issues, and cultural norms may limit access to cancer care in certain communities. Recognizing the challenges of providing cancer care in these settings, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine developed a workshop series examining cancer care in low-resource communities. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions from the first workshop, which focused on cancer prevention and early detection.

Book excerpt: The activities of the International Union Against Cancer (UJ.c.c.) are carried out by the Commission on Cancer Research and the Commission on Cancer Control. The Commission on Cancer Control is concerned with the detection, treatment and social campaign against cancer and, to facilitate its work, has committees on cancer detection, cancer prevention, patient care, professional education, public education and voluntary organizations. The Committee on Cancer Detection is concerned with programmes for the early diagnosis and registration of cancer and of pre-cancerous conditions with the object of achieving a reduction in cancer morbidity and mortality. The Committee is expected to study such programmes in the various countries and collect and evaluate the data and experience available. To this end meetings of the Committee were held in New York (1963), Oslo (1964) and Toronto (1965). This report is the result of these meetings and represents a considerable effort on the part of the Committee members. Dr. E. PEDERSEN (Chairman) - Oslo, Norway Dr. A.

Download or read book Prevention Detection and Management of Oral Cancer written by Sivapatham Sundaresan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-12-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to 70% of oral cancers are preceded by premalignant oral lesions, such as persistent red or white patches in the mouth. Survival rates for oral cancer can be improved through early detection. It is therefore essential that oral health professionals such as dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, and oral health therapists understand the importance of conducting a thorough oral screening examination for malignant and potentially malignant lesions as part of their routine clinical assessments, even in younger populations considered at lower risk for oral cancer. Key features of the book include: laser treatment techniques ,human genome sequencing, early detection and multidisciplinary approach ,management strategies and mechanisms of proliferation and energy metabolism in oral cancer.
