title: Cancer control: introduction to a series of reports on strategies and approaches.
abstract: No search for new treatments of cancer or new preventive measures can realistically hope to offer benefits anywhere near as large as those that can be gained by the wider application of current knowledge. A series of papers on strategies in cancer control, to be published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization, will describe the foundations and approaches that can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from cancer.
