Cancer politics
Keywords:
politics, public policy, government programs, neoplasms, prevention, controlAbstract
The cancer epidemic is a political issue of global proportions. The phenomenal rise during the last decades in cancer statistics marked the beginning of our understanding that cancer is a political problem, as well as medical, social, psychological, and economic. This review looks at the history of cancer control policy and at the broader concept of cause, and some of the professional and poltical obstacles to effective control. It also reasserts the importance of cancer understanding in terms of the knowledge and presents considerations for a modern cancer control policy.
