Cancer control needs a targeted approach on a regional basis in order to effectively reduce the burden of disease, according to a commentary published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute on 10 July.
In September 2011, the United Nations General Assembly held a high‐level meeting on noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) that focused on four major contributors to the global burden of disease: cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. The outcome of the meeting was a Political Declaration that highlights the need for prevention of NCDs.
