MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

I´d like to express my gratitude to all institutions, health professionals,researchers and general public who are attending the 2nd InternationalCancer Control Congress (2nd ICCC), which will be hosted by the National

Cancer Institute, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between November 25thand 28th. We are honored with this opportunity.

A highly significant participation in the 2nd ICCC was achieved bythe submission of 440 abstracts from 28 different countries from allover the world – in particular from Latin America, which wasresponsible for the submission of 360 abstracts.

There is more good news. To set up the 2nd ICCC we had thesupport from the Ministry of Health of Brazil, the Public HealthAgency of Canada, WHO, PAHO, UICC, governments from other

countries, international agencies, organizations from the private sector andinstitutions involved in social mobilization.

Cancer is a public health problem. To meet this principal challenge we have toensure especially in poor countries the population´s access to cancerprevention and care with suitable and high quality technology.

Our expectations concerning this Congress are based on setting up anInternational Cooperation Network, with a regional focus, involving strategiessuch as a major coverage of the target population, high quality services, andthe strengthening of information, education, communication, research andsocial mobilization.

Therefore, I take this opportunity to wish ourselves a profitable working periodand that we will achieve the best results in discussing cancer in a public healthperspective, particularly in Latin America.

ENDORSING ORGANIZATIONS

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR,INTERNATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE

One thing we all share as Nations, developed or developing, is the inexorablerise in cancer incidence, and hence mortality. It is a challenge we all face,largely as a consequence of living longer in a more complex world. However,

the rising incidence of cancer is not the problem – it is a fact! Theproblem is ‘what are we going to do about it?”

The 1st International Cancer Control Congress (Vancouver, 2005)was an attempt to bring heightened awareness to the need forpopulation-based strategies for cancer control – the point that wecannot meaningfully address the problem without a strategy,priorities and actions. There is readily available information fromauthoritative sources identifying ‘what we need to do’, but themore challenging issue is ‘how do we do it’ and ‘what works in real

life in real environments’.

This 2nd ICCC in Rio furthers the movement to establish, develop and enhancepopulation-based cancer control plans. It will bring together ‘partners’ fromacross the globe to share knowledge and foster the global community ofpractice wherein all can benefit from the experience and wisdom of others. Inthis endeavour, we are all learning and contributing to better strategies andsolutions appropriate to our situations.

I am particularly grateful to Dr Luiz Santini and INCA for hosting the 2nd ICCC,for the support of the Brazilian government and Health Ministry, andindustry/pharma colleagues in Brazil and for the diligence of the staff at INCAin bringing the Congress to a reality.

In addition, the support of the Government of Canada, through the FederalMinister of Health, the Public Health Agency of Canada, CIDA, NCI (US) andIAEA/PACT is most gratefully acknowledged.

Finally, the two Steering Committees – International and Regional – are to becommended for their commitment and the commitment of theirorganizations. Their support is enabling the pursuit of the ‘global communityof practice’ whose activities are a key piece of addressing the problem – “Whatare our strategies to control cancer within our nations”.

I look forward to seeing you in Rio.

Louvre I & IIWorkshop I

“Key issues related to practical cancercontrol/NCD strategies”

The workshop explores how Governments,Non-Government Organizations (NGO) andHealth Professionals and their Societies candefine common goals in NCD control(cardiovascular disease, cancer, chroniclung disease and diabetes), and contributematerial resources and skills to jointinterventions in prevention and earlydetection and monitoring their impact. Inparticular, the workshop will consider howthe level of development of a country (verylow, low, middle and high income/resource)determines the population based cancercontrol/NCD strategies that can be applied.

Louvre III & IVWorkshop II

“Role of regional and nationalgovernments within countries indeveloping cancer control / NCDcontrol for their population”

The workshop explores how Governmentsthrough legislation, regulation and fundingof public programs can lead in thedevelopment of cancer /NCD control fortheir populations. In particular, this

workshop will consider the range ofGovernment responses using theFramework Convention on Tobacco Control(FCTC) as a model for prevention, andpopulation based cervical screening as amodel for early detection programs.

ImperialWorkshop III

“Strategies for developing and completingthe cancer / NCD planning process”

The workshop explores strategies forpromoting agreement among stakeholderson the priorities for population cancer/NCDcontrol plans, and driving the planningprocess to a timely conclusion which leads toimplementation of key priority actions.Thecritical role that the resources available(infrastructure, recurrent expenditure andskills) play in determining the relevance andfeasibility of implementing population basedcancer/NCD control plans will be examined.

12:40-13:45 Lunch

Versailles I & II13:45-15:10 SESSION 2: Cancer Prevention, Early

Detection and Screening Strategies - Progress to Data andImplementation Challanges

“Planning strategically”

Planning strategically a preventiveresponse to cancer (encompassing earlydetection and screening) is key to ensure anefficient, sustainable preventive responsewhich is country-specific. The workshopexplores what tools can be mobilized tobuild a coherent and comprehensive planto prevent cancer as an integratedcomponent of a cancer control plan. Therole of a situation analysis, the insightsprovided by well designed and evaluateddemonstration projects and an example ofsuch a strategic framework will introducethe discussion.

Louvre IIIWorkshop II

“Implementing a comprehensiveresponse”

It is acknowledged that the prevention ofmajor risk factors for cancer requires amultisectoral approach. The workshopexplores what mechanisms can be put inplace to ensure an effective multisectoralresponse, the roles and responsibilities ofthose mechanisms for planning,implementing and monitoring thisresponse. Three concrete examples will bepresented to enhance the reflection.

Louvre IVWorkshop III

“Building partnerships which work”

The workshop explores how to build andcoordinate results-oriented collaborations,

“Planning and Implementing a cancercontrol program in the real world”

Planning and implementing a cancercontrol program has enormous challenges.How do we achieve consensus on priorities?How do we accommodate conflictsbetween stakeholders? How do we optimizeinput from consumers? How we buildsupport from political and administrativeleaders? How do we use the mediaconstructively? In this session, a generaldiscussion and opportunity to discussdelegates’ experiences will follow from shortcomments illustrating these issues.

Louvre III & IVWorkshop II

“Economics, Ethics and Funding CancerControl Programs: from principles topractice”

Doctors and managers have to determinewhat cancer control programs to fund andwhat programs not to fund. As a result, it isimportant to establish practical andtransparent methods for priority setting inpractice. Methods are now more flexiblethan they have been in the past,recognizing the need for pragmatism aswell as rationality. This workshop providesa framework for priority setting in cancercontrol which can be adapted to localfunding processes. The workshop ispresented by Stuart Peacock, who has wideranging experiences in working with healthcare managers in implementing prioritysetting approaches in Canada, Australia,

the UK and New Zealand. Ample time willbe provided for discussion and questions.

The workshop explores inequalities andtheir shifts over time as the basis for thechanging burden of disease amongst richand poor nations. Inequalities to beconsidered will include socio-economicstatus, ethnicity, smoking, other risk factorsand health service delivery systems. Theworkshop will draw attention to thenecessity for pro-active policy to mitigateinequalities if improved health outcomesare to be achieved.

Imperial Workshop V

“Population-based Radiation ServicesPlanning”

The workshop will explore the factorsinvolved in the establishment of thepopulation ‘need/demand’ for radiationtherapy, the development andmaintenance of radiation services capacityto meet ‘need’, and the conduct of radiationservices that are of an established standardin relation to the quality and safety ofradiation services. The workshop willprovide a forum to examine how a‘community of practice’ can be ofassistance in developing and sustaining aneffective, safe radiation service.
