title: Cancer prevention in the developing world: mission impossible?
abstract: Cancer is set to become the newest epidemic in the developing world. This fact is still largely unknown. The UICC, therefore, has been acting in order to inform policymakers, with the aim of pushing them to act in order to tackle this looming disaster. The implementation of a cancer control plan, encompassing prevention, screening and treatment in each country, should therefore become the declared goal of all health policymakers worldwide.
