摘要:
Cancer is a leading cause of mortality in the US Associated Pacific Island Nations (USAPIN) due to few resources for prevention, screening, and treatment.,We describe the formation of the Pacific Cancer Initiative (PCI), and the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands (CCPI)to address the rising cancer burden in USA PIN. Since their inception, PCI and CCPI have conducted cancer needs assessments, developed strategic cancer plans, and acquired additional cancer program funding for USAPIN.,We emphasize the importance of international/regional partnerships and participatory development in assuring sustainability of cancer programs in USAPIN.,The USAPIN speak with a unified voice.
