Abstract

Introduction

In the early 1990s, a comprehensive cancer control (CCC) approach was developed in the United States (US). In 2003, the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) adopted the CCC approach through a regional coalition, the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands (CCPI). Using the CCC approach, the CCPI developed jurisdiction-specific cancer coalitions and initiated their respective cancer plans.

Methods

The evolution of the CCC approach and the history of the CCPI regional coalition are reviewed. The outcomes of the regional approach for cancer control in the USAPI are described to illustrate the possibilities, value-added and innovation of using a CCC strategy in a multi-national coalition based in a resource-limited environment.

Results

The CCC approach enabled the CCPI to (1) harmonize cancer control efforts between the six USAPI jurisdictions, (2) represent the USAPI cancer needs as a single voice, and (3) develop a regional cancer control strategy. Outcomes include (1) a regional cancer registry, (2) three sequential regional CCC plans, (3) leveraged resources for the USAPI, (4) enhanced on-site technical assistance and training, (5) improved standards for cancer screening, (6) evidence-based cancer control interventions adapted for the USAPI.

Conclusion

The regional CCPI coupled with the CCC approach is an effective engine of change. The CCC strategies enabled navigation of the political, geographic, cultural, and epidemiologic Pacific environment. The regional partners have been able to harmonize cancer control efforts in resource-limited settings. Regional cancer coalitions may be effective in the global arena for cancer control between communities, states, or countries.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Die aktuelle S3-Leitlinie zu CLL strotzt vor Neuerungen

Vor kurzem wurde eine neue, grundlegend überarbeite Version der S3-Leitlinie Chronische Lymphatische Leukämie (CLL) veröffentlicht.  Zu den wichtigsten Änderungen gehört, dass die Chemoimmuntherapie auf dem Rückzug ist.

Gluteuslappen nach Rektumkarzinom-Op. schützt vor Abszessen

Die Wunddeckung mit einem autologen Rotationslappen nach Entfernung eines Rektumkarzinoms konnte in einer randomisierten Studie gegenüber dem primären Wundverschluss vor allem in einer Hinsicht punkten: Sie führte deutlich seltener zu präsakralen Abszessen.

Wechsel von Zugangsroute und Biopsiesteuerung: Erfahrungen eines Zentrums

Geht der Switch zur transperinealen gezielten Prostatabiopsie auf Kosten der diagnostischen Qualität? Nein, urteilen norwegische Urologinnen und Urologen nach Durchsicht von Daten aus ihrer Einrichtung.

Warum werden Hodenprothesen so selten angeboten?

Forschende aus Großbritannien haben untersucht, wie häufig eine Hodenprothese bei krebsbedingter radikaler Orchidektomie angeboten wird. Vor allem die Gründe, warum kein Implantat zur Wahl gestellt wird, sind erstaunlich.
