2. A group of diseases characterized by
uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal
cells that results in death.

(Mortality)
• Health insurance premiums
• Nonmedical expenses

of cancer control

9.  Early stage cancers when  Diagnosis & careful
they can be treated most
effectively clinical and
 Timely diagnostic follow-up pathological
and effective treatment assessments-First in
1. Opportunistic screening Cancer Management
requested by a physician
or an individual or  Surgery,
2. Organized screening in chemotherapy, and
which a defined population radiotherapy (alone or
is contacted and invited to combined)
be screened at regular
intervals

Diagnosis and treatment
secondary prevention

10. The International Atomic Energy Agency has
created a
that helps developing countries
fight cancer by integrating radiotherapy
into sustainable comprehensive cancer
control programs in 2004.

11.  Realizing the Impact of Public Health –
Technology Transfer
 IAEA’s Initiative with Public-Private
Partnership to fight Cancer Crisis
 Partnering with WHO and Health Related Org
to Develop and Plan in Low Income Member
(LIM) in Cancer Control Program.

12.  To build a global public-private partnership of
interested organizations committed to addressing the
challenge of cancer in LMI Member States in all its
aspects;
 To mobilize resources from charitable trusts,
foundations, and others in the public and private
sectors to assist LMI Member States to develop and
implement their radiation medicine capacities within
a National Cancer Control Program (NCCP)
 To ensure the effective and sustainable transfer of
radiation medicine technologies or knowledge to all
LMI Member States where unmet needs exist.

13.  Assessment – Cancer Needs (imPACT)
 Establish PACT Model Demonstration Sites
(PMDS)
 Regional capacity building Regional Cancer
Training Networks
(Albania, Nicaragua, SriLanka,Tanzania, Vietnam and Yemen.)

14.  Albania,
 Nicaragua,
 Sri Lanka,
 United Republic of Tanzania,
 Vietnam and
 Yemen.
 2009 No Further PMDS

16.  Prevent those cancers that can be prevented;
 Treat those cancers that can be treated;
 Cure those cancers that can be cured; and
 Relieve pain and improve quality of life for all
cancer patients.
