    The WHO document outlines the importance of national cancer control programmes (NCCP) in reducing the cancer burden. It notes that India has an estimated 7-9 lakh new cancer cases and 4 lakh cancer deaths annually. The top cancers in India are tobacco-related and breast/cervical cancers. The NCCP aims to prevent cancers, detect them early through screening, and provide treatment and palliative care through a systematic and equitable approach. It evaluates and implements the most cost-effective strategies to control cancer using available resources.

    WHO – IMPORTANCE OF NCCP

    Public health programme designed to:


    1. Reduce the number of cancer cases and deaths
    2. Improve quality of life of cancer patients,
    through the systematic and equitable
    implementation of evidence-based strategies
    for prevention, early detection, diagnosis,
    treatment, and palliation,
    3. Making the best use of available resources.
    5. Evaluates the various ways to control disease
    and implements - the most cost-effective and
    beneficial for the largest part of the
    population.
    6. Promotes the development of treatment
    guidelines, place emphasis on preventing
    cancers or detecting cases early so that they
    can be cured, and provide as much comfort as
    possible to patients with advanced disease.
    • 7 to 9 lakh cases occurring every year
    • At any point of time, it is estimated that there are
    nearly 25 lakh cases in the country.
    • 4 lakh deaths are estimated to occur every year due to
    cancer.
    • 40% of the cancers in the country are due to tobacco.
    In males- tobacco related cancers are very common ,
    namely, cancers of the lungs and oral cavity.
    In females- cancer of uterine cervix and breast are
    common.
    • here are 5 schemes under the Revised Programme:
    • Recognition of new Regional Cancer Centres (RCCs) by providing a
    onetime grant of Rs.5.00 crore.
    • Strengthening of existing RCCs by providing a one-time grant
    of Rs.3.00 crore.
    • Development of Oncology Wing by providing enhanced grant
    of Rs.3.00 crore to the Government institutions (Medical Colleges
    as well as government hospitals).
    • District Cancer Control Programme by providing the grant-in-aid
    of Rs.90.00 lakh spread over a period of 5 years.
    • Decentralised NGO Scheme by providing a grant of Rs.8000 per
    camp to the NGOs for IEC activities.
    • Cancer prevention and control - needs to acquire
    the same focus as provided by the MDGs .
    • In many parts of the world, the absence of a
    specific MDG on cancer (or indeed chronic
    disease) has led to lesser cancer control in terms
    of allocated priority.
    • For low- and medium-resource countries - needs
    to develop greater incentive to prioritize cancer
    and other chronic diseases.
    • Major challenge : How to find sufficient funds to
    develop the capacity to treat the large numbers of
    cancers which will be diagnosed in the coming years.
    1. Effective prevention - reduce the risk of cancer
    2. Effective screening - allow many others to be
    successfully treated for their disease.
    • Cancer control in developing nations must serve to
    destigmatize cancer and raise governmental and public
    awareness and dispel the myth which equates cancer
    diagnosis with death.
    If cancer is not given higher priority through
    focused global efforts then:
    • More and more people will die prematurely
    and needlessly from cancer.
    • Devastating social and economic
    consequences for households, communities.
    • Major impediment to socioeconomic
    development.
    • The WHO resolution on cancer control provides
    a strong impetus for countries to develop
    programs aimed at the reduction of cancer
    incidence and mortality.
    • Urgent need for leadership and coordination in
    this area.
    • Compared with other global health
    communities, the global cancer control
    community is diffuse and often ineffective.
