tailieunhanh - Cancer Control Opportunities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

In high-income countries, cancer has received considerable public attention because it is one of the major causes of mortality, morbidity, and disease burden. In middle- and particularly in low-income countries, cancer has received less public attention because other diseases, especially infectious diseases, have historically been far more pressing. Although less prominent in relative terms, as this report documents, cancer is a major burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) today. | CANCER CONTROL OPPORTUNITIES IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES WST1TVTE Of MJDKiNf Of w AC V f I CANCER CONTROL OPPORTUNITIES IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES Committee on Cancer Control in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Board on Global Health Frank A.
