European and Hungarian national tasks in oncology

Magyar onkologia
Miklós Kásler, Szabolcs Ottó

Abstract

It is well known that cancer incidence and mortality figures are very poor in Hungary. By providing the latest figures the authors analyze the epidemiological background and the risk factors responsible for this situation. Furthermore, based on international recommendations and national specificities, the authors define areas of action to solve this significant health issue. The main conclusion of their analysis is that it is inevitable to improve oncology care by adjusting it to European standards. The decade-old National Cancer Control Program (NCCP) is improved by incorporating legislative actions, educational issues, research and development priorities. The program now provides the definition of regional centers, recommend improvements of the function of oncology teams and rehabilitation. Based on successful European models, this program must be coordinated by the National Cancer Institute.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
