{"product_id":"disease-control-priorities-third-edition-hellen-gelband-9781464803499","title":"Disease Control Priorities, Third Edition (Volume 3)","description":"\"Volume 3, Cancer, presents the complex patterns of cancer incidence and death around the world and evidence on effective and cost-effective ways to control cancers. The DCP3 evaluation of cancer will indicate where cancer treatment is ineffective and wasteful, and offer alternative cancer care packages that are cost-effective and suited to low-resource settings. Main messages from the volume include: --Quality matters in all aspects of cancer treatment and palliation. --Cancer registries that track incidence, mortality, and survival +\" paired with systems to capture causes of death are important to understanding the national cancer burden and the effect of interventions over time. --Effective interventions exist at a range of prices. Adopting \"resource appropriate+? measures which allow the most effective treatment for the greatest number of people will be advantageous to countries. --Prioritizing resources toward early stage and curable cancers is likely to have the greatest health impact in low income settings. --Research prioritization is no longer just a global responsibility. Providing cancer treatment requires adequate numbers of trained healthcare professionals and infrastructure beyond what is available in most LMICs, especially low income countries. Careful patient monitoring is a requirement of good quality cancer care and this often involves laboratory tests in addition to clinical examination. Even if financing were immediately available to build or expand a cancer control system, reaching capacity will take many years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hellen Gelband\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464803498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464803499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Hellen Gelband","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48449630175487,"sku":"9781464803499","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b71b90ee-0305-49e7-990f-0d749e9f806c.jpg?v=1777264226","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disease-control-priorities-third-edition-hellen-gelband-9781464803499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
