Abstract:
Cancer-related health-care costs in dollars and in human lives are staggering. Reduction of cancer mortality depends largely on the access of the public to cancer prevention and control programs. Efforts by the federal government such as passage of the National Cancer Act and congressional appropriations have been important contributions. The national commitment to cancer prevention and control is evident through goals and programs of the National Cancer Institute, the Department of Health and Human Services, the American Cancer Society, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prevention is also a focus of nursing organizations and industry.
