This document discusses cancer incidence in Jaffna, Sri Lanka and the need to improve cancer care services there. It finds that breast and cervical cancer have the highest incidence. While a cancer center was begun in Jaffna in 1981, radiation services were not consistently available until 2004. The author calls for building a new comprehensive cancer center in Jaffna to better treat and prevent cancer through multidisciplinary care and early detection programs. Support is needed from foreign organizations to help the region's cancer patients.
