摘要:
A brief description of the history of Cancer Control in Japan was presented for the first time. The establishment of the National Cancer Center and Comprehensive 10-year Strategy for Cancer Control Program, which has been implemented for 30 years, is most important. In response to the concerns raised by cancer patients, their families, and lay people, such as elimination of disparity arising from where they live or which hospital they attend, and asymmetrical cancer information, the Cancer Control Act was established in 2006 and executed in 2007. The Basic Plan to Promote Cancer Control Programs was started in 2007 as a 10-year plan. Hospitals that specialize in cancer treatment, nearly 400 in total, were appointed all over Japan. Hospitals that specialize in pediatric cancer were also appointed all over Japan. Cancer education for children and special issues, including employment of cancer patients, were stressed. Since the establishment of the Cancer Control Act, the Cancer Control Strategy in this country has been achieved remarkably as a frame. Henceforth, all items should be elucidated by giving importance to the opinion of patients, their families, and lay people.
