“…A number of developing countries, including Vietnam and Tanzania, have developed national cancer control programs, although these programs are funded inadequately because of limited resources and other competing public health programs (183). International public health agencies and private and government donors can play significant roles in strengthening existing cancer control programs and/or implementing new programs to arrest the growing burden of cancer in economically developing countries (184). Development of a cancer control program should include the establishment of a cancer registry to asses the cancer burden and identify priorities and to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.…”

While incidence and mortality rates for most cancers (including lung, colorectum, female breast, and prostate) are decreasing in the United States and many other western countries, they are increasing in several less developed and economically transitioning countries because of adoption of unhealthy western lifestyles such as smoking and physical inactivity and consumption of calorie-dense food. Indeed, the rates for lung and colon cancers in a few of these countries have already surpassed those in the United States and other western countries. Most developing countries also continue to be disproportionately affected by cancers related to infectious agents, such as cervix, liver, and stomach cancers. The proportion of new cancer cases diagnosed in less developed countries is projected to increase from about 56% of the world total in 2008 to more than 60% in 2030 because of the increasing trends in cancer rates and expected increases in life expectancy and growth of the population. In this review, we describe these changing global incidence and mortality patterns for select common cancers and the opportunities for cancer prevention in developing countries.

“…Colorectal neoplasia (CRN) is defined as low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia, adenoma, and colorectal cancer (CRC). As it is known, CRC is one of the most common cancers around the world as well as the most common malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract [2]. And low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia, and adenoma are precancerous lesions which will progress to CRC.…”

“…In French Guiana, early detection and prevention programs are crucial for increasing cancer survival, notably for foreign-born patients. Late diagnosis, advanced stage at diagnosis, difficulties in accessing treatment facilities, and absence of prevention and screening are common problems in tropical countries which generally are of low and middle-low income [5][6][7][8][9]. Surprisingly this is also the case for a large proportion of the population in French Guiana [10].…”

Context : Palliative care involves global management of the patient at the end of life. In the practice of oncology, important cultural aspects of this care are not always adequately taken in account.Objective: To describe social, familial, economic and cultural aspects of end of life care through a case report of a patient with cancer of the cervix living in a multicultural setting.Data Acquisition: Mrs. X, whose case is reported, was one of the 594 patients managed at the Cayenne Oncology Unit in French Guiana between January 2010 and December 2012. Mrs. X's trusted representative in confidential matters was her 21-year-old sister, who gave oral permission for anonymized data relating to the case to be published. The search for relevant references was guided by the nature of the data and discussion between authors.Findings: Mrs. X's clinical presentation was typical for cancer of the cervix. Initial treatment was with curative intent led to incomplete resection. However, disease progression quickly made her case one of palliative management, and this raised many social, economic, family and cultural issues. These included illegal immigration, poverty, lack of structured family support, and aspects of indigenous cultural practice. The first three aspects were effectively managed by social workers. Cultural aspects, however, were not well understood. The objective was that the patient should die in her home surroundings and receive appropriate cultural death rites. This Native American patient was thought to belong to a cultural group whose death rites have disappeared. In fact, she belonged to a different group that had also lost its cultural identity. Conclusions:Knowing patients' medical history is essential to planning effective palliative care. But it is also important to understand as fully as possible their social, familial and cultural circumstances. In relation to a patient's culture, we must not rely on general assumptions but should seek to understand the specific circumstances relevant to a particular individual.
