Özveren Sokak No:13/A Kızılay/ANKARA – Tel: (+90.312) 229 37 41 – 42 PREFACE Cancer composes an important threat to public health both in our country and in global, thus cancer control problems are considered important for countries. Within this context; While active cancer registration had only been applied only in two provinces before Health Transformation Program, with the studies executed recently active cancer registration has now been applied in 81 provinces. World Health Organization had established one of its 5 hup centers in Izmir. As Ministry, among our cancer prevention activities, our fight against tobacco and obesity continue with very successful results. Additions to these programs, many new programs are initiated considering cancer such as Turkey Radon Mapping and action Plan, Turkey Asbestos Control Strategic Action Plan, Monitoring of Health Effects of Electromagnetic Areas. In our cancer screening programs, Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and training Centers (KETEM) and our family practitioners provide screening services for breast, colorectal and cervical cancers free of charge with the motto “Early diagnosis saves lives!” For the treatment of cancer patients, morphine and chemotherapy medicine are now being manufactured in our country. All our citizens have access to treatment applied in competence with international standards. Of course, beyond the success of our efforts related with cancer, there is the country-wide political stability and determination. Constitution of an effective “National Control Program” is one of the most important steps. For this purpose, by following up all developments in science as well as health policies and involving our national experiences obtained in the first phase, second five year plan for “National Cancer Control Program” to be executed for 2013-2018 has been prepared. I thank precious scientists who contribute the formation of this program, wish it will bring auspiciousness for entire nation… We are aware, we will beat cancer… Dr. Mehmet MÜEZZİNOĞLU Minister of Health of the Republic of Turkey In 2011, United Nations called its members to prepare and apply national programs to fight against cancer which has been defined as the disease of the century and which is also considered as a global problem. Turkey renewed National Cancer Control Plan in 2013, that had been firstly announced in 2008 and initiated its struggle with cancer disease. Cancer is an important public health problem both in our country and globally. Among the most important causes of cancer, there is the tobacco use, unhelthy diet, obesity, alcohol and infections. Especially evaluating our country data, our tobacco and obesity programs compose the corner stones of cancer control. Notwithstanding, increasing of physical activity, limitation of salt usage, fight against infection agents are also important factors. Without a doubt, cancer can only be controlled with preventive precautions rather than making investments on treatment. These control programs, which have been executing for years in our country are strenghtened and accelareted following the establishment of Turkish Public Health Institution. Society based cancer screenings used to be only applied in Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening and Training Centers (KETEM). With the operating of Cancer Directorate under Turkish Public Health Institution, family practitioners unit and public health centers contributed to the screenings and screening activities were extended to every corner of country, screening speed also increased. In a period where more than 12 million people are diagnosed cancer annually, we are aware of our responsibilities in fight against cancer. This program is a very essential source since it provided guidance on how the challange should be managed. I want to thank our respectable scientists who contributed to this book and wish our National Cancer Control Plan will be auspicious for our entire nation.
