Summary

"This book is designed to address the broad subject of cancer control. Health professionals work in a complex adaptive system and require a foundation in cancer control from a systems lens to understand the system they are part of, to engage in improving the outcomes, and to be effective members of health team. Cancer control is defined as initiatives to reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of cancer and to improve the quality of life through the implementation of prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, supportive and palliative care in a population. Health professionals and researchers who are engaged in one aspect of cancer control need to understand the ecosystem of cancer control beyond their own area of engagement. This book will address the subjects related to cancer and health systems organization and performance, principles of care delivery, and issues dealing with equity. It will provide a foundational understanding of the larger cancer and healthcare environment and how health professionals, administrators, researchers, policy makers and others can engage in continuous improvement in cancer control. These topics will be of broad interest to all involved in cancer care to provide a common global understanding of the cancer care system"-- Provided by publisher.
