Description

Harold P. Freeman (ed); Suzanne H. Reuben (ed). The death toll from cancer is not being reduced quickly enough due to our failure to apply fully throughout the population the cancer prevention & cancer care interventions that research has shown to be effective. The Panel considered how the nat. effort against cancer should now move forward to more rapidly reduce the burden of this disease. The Panel concluded that the equal importance of the research & delivery components of the nat. effort against cancer must be recognized, & that the current barriers keeping quality cancer prevention & care from reaching people in all of our neighborhoods must be overcome. Moreover, the unequal burden of cancer carried by the poor, ethnic minorities, & the underserved must be relieved. Illustrations.
