An assessment of progress in cancer control
Cet article analyse les disparités dans la mortalité par cancer aux Etats-Unis, fait le point sur la stratégie de l'"American Cancer Society" en matière de prévention, de détection précoce et de traitements des cancers , puis présente une stratégie nationale pour réduire la mortalité spécifique jusqu'en 2035
This article summarizes cancer mortality trends and disparities based on data from the National Center for Health Statistics. It is the first in a series of articles that will describe the American Cancer Society's vision for how cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment can be transformed to lower the cancer burden in the United States, and sets the stage for a national cancer control plan, or blueprint, for the American Cancer Society goals for reducing cancer mortality by the year 2035. Although steady progress in reducing cancer mortality has been made over the past few decades, it is clear that much more could, and should, be done to save lives through the comprehensive application of currently available evidence-based public health and clinical interventions to all segments of the population.
