Abstract:
With a prediction of about 20 million cases and 10 million deaths occurring to 2020, cancer is becoming one of the most important challenges in the field of human health. National Cancer Control plans are effective tools to set up actions that, by their specificity in regard to the local epidemiology and resources, can break the rising curve of human toll that we are paying to this disease. In this article we present the French experience with the National Cancer Plans. We point out the most significant actions that were developed in the areas of prevention, screening, care, access to innovative treatments, and research.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
