This Policy and advocacy module provides tools and advice on how to plan and advocate for sustainable cancer control policy and effective programme implementation. It outlines the capacity required for collaboration and communication, and sets out the optimal roles of various groups in advocacy. It recommends practical action steps, indicating how diverse groups can support effective cancer control efforts. This module is intended to help build knowledge, confidence, skills and passion for action in people concerned about cancer. Its target audience ranges from policy-makers to implementers of cancer control plans at national, regional or local level.

Book Description
In 2005, 7.6 million people died of cancer. More than 70% of those deaths occured in low and middle income countries. WHO has developed a series of six modules that provides practical advice for programme managers and policy-makers on how to advocate, plan and implement effective cancer control programmes, particularly in low and middle income countries.The WHO guide is a response to the World Health Assembly resolution on cancer prevention and control (WHA58.22), adopted in May 2005, which calls on Member States to intensify action against cancer by developing and reinforcing cancer control programmes.

Book Description
Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Book Description
Cancer is low or absent on the health agendas of low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) despite the fact that more people die from cancer in these countries than from AIDS and malaria combined. International health organizations, bilateral aid agencies, and major foundations—which are instrumental in setting health priorities—also have largely ignored cancer in these countries. This book identifies feasible, affordable steps for LMCs and their international partners to begin to reduce the cancer burden for current and future generations. Stemming the growth of cigarette smoking tops the list to prevent cancer and all the other major chronic diseases. Other priorities include infant vaccination against the hepatitis B virus to prevent liver cancers and vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. Developing and increasing capacity for cancer screening and treatment of highly curable cancers (including most childhood malignancies) can be accomplished using "resource-level appropriateness" as a guide. And there are ways to make inexpensive oral morphine available to ease the pain of the many who will still die from cancer.

Book Description
Because of the wealth of available knowledge, all countries can, at some useful level, implement the four basic components of cancer control -- prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and palliative care -- and thus avoid and cure many cancers, as well as palliating the suffering. These guides provide practical advice for program managers and policy-makers on how to advocate, plan and implement effective cancer control programs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Module 1 shows how to create a cancer control plan that responds to the needs of the people, is based on evidence, and ensures that limited resources are used in an efficient and equitable way, and offers step-by-step advice for developing a cancer control plan. Module 2 investigates how to implement effective cancer prevention by controlling major avoidable cancer risk factors. Module 3 examines how to implement effective early detection of major types of cancer that are amenable to early diagnosis and screening. Module 4 covers how to implement effective cancer diagnosis and treatment, particularly linked to early detection programs or curable cancers. Module 5 shows how to implement effective palliative care for cancer, with a particular focus on community-based care. Module 6 investigates how to advocate for policy development and effective program implementation of cancer control.

Book Description
While many effective interventions can reduce cancer risk, incidence, and death, as well as enhance quality of life, they are of no benefit if they cannot be delivered to those in need. In the face of increasingly dynamic and resource-constrained conditions, implementation science plays a critical role in delivering cancer control practices. This 30-page workbook was written by members of the NCI (National Cancer Institute) implementation Science team and reviewed by nearly 100 public health practitioners and implementation science researchers. Through summaries of key theories, methods, and models, the guide shows how greater use of implementation science can support the effective adoption of evidence-based interventions. Case studies illustrate how practitioners are successfully applying implementation science in their cancer control programs
