Cancer burden in Japan based on the latest cancer statistics: need for evidence-based cancer control programs

PURPOSE The objective of the Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) for Knowledge Summaries for Comprehensive Breast Cancer Control (KSBC) was to strengthen the capacity to plan and implement evidence-based, resource-appropriate breast cancer control programs using virtual case-based learning within a global network of experts and peers. METHODS The KSBC ECHO was a collaboration between the US National Cancer Institute Center for Global Health, Women’s Empowerment Cancer Advocacy Network, and Breast Health Global Initiative in alignment with the Breast Cancer Initiative 2.5 campaign to reduce disparities in breast cancer outcomes. Using the ECHO model, we developed a 6-month Web-based program to support the development of locally relevant, resource-appropriate cancer control programs through mentorship and use of KSBCs. The course was advertised via existing networks, conferences, and social media. Breast cancer control project teams from around the world applied and were accepted to participate in the KSBC ECHO. Fourteen biweekly ECHO sessions were held via Zoom and included case presentations, didactic presentations, and discussion. Projects spanned the care continuum and sessions addressed preplanning, assessing need/barriers, setting objectives/priorities, and implementing/evaluating. Baseline and end point surveys were used to evaluate the ECHO program. Participants identified a mentor, completed worksheets, and presented on the project status. RESULTS Fifteen project teams from 11 countries—64 participants: advocates, clinicians, policymakers, and researchers—were enrolled. Twenty-eight participants (57%) completed the baseline and end point surveys. Analysis of the data using a paired t-test indicates that the knowledge increase was statistically significant: The average knowledge gain was 0.76 ± 0.89 (95% CI, 0.44 to 1.08; P < .0001). Additional feedback on the Web-based collaborative learning model will be presented. CONCLUSION The ECHO model encouraged interaction between policymakers, clinicians, advocates, and technical experts while using evidence-based tools to develop locally relevant, resource-appropriate implementation strategies and policy recommendations.

Each year, the Canadian Cancer Statistics publication provides an estimate of expected case counts and rates for common cancer sites for the current year in Canada as a whole and in the provinces and territories. This monograph expands on the Canadian Cancer Statistics publication by providing historical and projected cancer incidence frequencies and rates at national and regional levels from 1983 to 2032. The aim is that this monograph will be an important resource for health researchers and planners. Most importantly, it is hoped the monograph will: - provide evidence-based input for the development of public health policy priorities at the regional and national levels; and - guide public health officials in planning strategy including designing and evaluating preventive interventions and planning resources (treatment requirements) and infrastructure for future cancer control and care intended to reduce the burden of cancer in Canada.

Aims: To capture the complex relationships between risk factors and cancer incidences in the US and predict future cancer burden. Materials & methods: Two artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms were adopted: a multilayer feed-forward network (MLFFNN) and a nonlinear autoregressive network with eXogenous inputs (NARX). Data on the incidence of the four most common tumors (breast, colorectal, lung and prostate) from 1992 to 2016 (available from National Cancer Institute online datasets) were used for training and validation, and data until 2050 were predicted. Results: The rapid decreasing trend of prostate cancer incidence started in 2010 will continue until 2018–2019; it will then slow down and reach a plateau after 2050, with several differences among ethnicities. The incidence of breast cancer will reach a plateau in 2030, whereas colorectal cancer incidence will reach a minimum value of 35 per 100,000 in 2030. As for lung cancer, the incidence will decrease from 50 per 100,000 (2017) to 31 per 100,000 in 2030 and 26 per 100,000 in 2050. Conclusion: This up-to-date prediction of cancer burden in the US could be a crucial resource for planning and evaluation of cancer-control programs.

Total Cancer

Cancer is increasing worldwide and mainly because of the increase in life expectancy it is projected that the number of annually newly diagnosed cancer cases raises from 17.0 million today to 27.5 million in 2040, an increase by 61.4%, that must be reversed. From evaluations of the carcinogenicity of substances it is estimated that about 40% of today’s cancers are preventable, but implementation of primary prevention needs to be more rigorous and structured. Occupational cancers resulting from workplace exposures account for an estimated 3-5% of the total cancer burden and are among the preventable ones. The present review gives an overview of global cancer statistics, successful cancer control measures through primary and secondary prevention, and the role of occupational hygiene in reducing the occupational cancer burden.

User Centered

To reduce the research to practice gap, promoting the utility of evidence-based repositories is essential among both practitioners and researchers. Organizing these repositories to address the needs of these audiences requires a user-centered design approach as proposed recently in an article by Harden et al, 2020. This commentary builds on the proposed solutions to introduce a recently redesigned Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs (EBCCP) web repository (formerly Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs)) from the National Cancer Institute. Specifically, we describe the user-centered redesign process, strategies for broader dissemination of the repository using digital tools and provide future directions for the evidence-based program repository.

National Cancer Control Plan

Abstract 43 A National Cancer Control Plan (NCCP) comprises an important part of a country's non-communicable disease (NCD) plan and can help countries meet NCD targets outlined in the WHO Global NCD Action Plan. A comprehensive cancer control plan is based on data such as a country's cancer burden and cancer risk factors, available resources, and local context of culture and health care. The plan provides a systematic framework for implementation of evidence-based and cost-effective strategies for cancer prevention and control. The International Cancer Control Leadership Forum is a 2-3 day regional workshop with thematic seminar modules on cancer control planning and implementation, as well as interactive action planning sessions. The goal is to increase the capacity of participating countries to initiate or enhance cancer control planning and implementation through a multisectoral approach. The country teams are composed of high-level leaders who represent government agencies, civil society, oncology professionals, and academia. The program approach engages country teams over a year and a half. Approximately 3-6 months prior to the forum, teams conduct a situational analysis of the cancer burden and cancer control planning efforts in their country. During the Forum, teams are introduced to evidence-based approaches and exchange best-practices with colleagues to develop a 12-month action plan to move their cancer control planning and implementation efforts forward. In the year after the Forum, country teams and Forum faculty meet for 3-4 follow-up phone calls to address technical assistance needs as countries begin to implement their action plan. Thus far, Forums have been held in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean, Middle East-North Africa, Latin America, and Central Asia regions. The country teams report that the Forum provides an important opportunity to plan with diverse stakeholders. Participants also report increased awareness and knowledge on developing and implementing a national cancer control plan, and learn best-practices from their colleagues in neighboring countries. In some Forums, countries have shown interest to work collaboratively towards regional initiatives. AUTHORS' DISCLOSURES OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: No COIs from the authors.
