The Scientific Approach to Cancer Control

Cancer control has been growing in importance with basic and clinical research advances. It is the means to assure widescale public benefits from these advances. The major challenge is to develop a scientific methodology for prevention and management intervention.

At NCI, we are classifying all cancer prevention and management cancer control studies into five research phases. This orderly approach should assure that adequate research precedes widescale intervention efforts. Research and widescale programs must be mutually reinforcing. Only the coordinated planning and implementation of a cancer control research strategy will assure maximum yield from the dollars invested, maximum scientific quality of the activities supported, and maximum probability that the research effort will lead to nation wide public benefits.
