    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health
    • Cancer Control Research

    Background:

    • Cancer control aims to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality through research and population-based interventions.
    • A phased classification system for cancer control research (hypothesis development, methods studies, case-control, defined population, demonstration-implementation) is established.
    • There is a critical need for studies evaluating cancer control measures in defined populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of population-focused cancer control research.
    • To advocate for increased research support for units studying cancer control in defined populations.
    • To introduce new cancer control initiatives: community clinical oncology programs and chemoprevention research.

    Main Methods:

    • Classification of cancer control research into distinct phases.
    • Identification of research gaps, particularly in defined population studies.
    • Description of new programs: Community Clinical Oncology Program and chemoprevention research.

    Main Results:

    • The established phased system provides a framework for cancer control research progression.
    • Defined population studies are identified as a critical area needing further investigation and support.
    • New programs aim to enhance collaborative efforts and explore preventative strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • Increased support for research on cancer control measures in defined populations is essential.
    • Collaborative efforts between community physicians and academic scientists are crucial for effective cancer control.
    • Chemoprevention research holds promise for reducing cancer incidence through micronutrients and synthetic compounds.
