National cancer control programs
National cancer control programs are organized efforts by a country's government to reduce cancer-related health problems. They focus on preventing cancer through education and lifestyle changes, early detection via screenings, ensuring patients get effective treatment, and providing support for survivors. These programs aim to lower cancer incidence and mortality while improving quality of life for patients. They involve coordination among healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities to implement strategies based on local needs and resources, ultimately working toward a comprehensive approach to reduce the impact of cancer on the population.
