title: Clinical Oncology Program: a community cancer control model.
abstract: The majority of cancer patients are diagnosed and treated in their local communities, making it imperative to upgrade cancer management at the community level. The Clinical Oncology Program has demonstrated that sophisticated cancer control programs are possible in a community setting. Moreover, if "quality of survival" data collection is included in such programs, valuable information emerges that can further improve cancer management in the community.
