Cancer is a leading cause of mortality in the US Associated Pacific Island Nations (USAPIN) due to few resources for prevention, screening, and treatment.
We describe the formation of the Pacific Cancer Initiative (PCI), and the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands (CCPI)to address the rising cancer burden in USA PIN. Since their inception, PCI and CCPI have conducted cancer needs assessments, developed strategic cancer plans, and acquired additional cancer program funding for USAPIN.
We emphasize the importance of international/regional partnerships and participatory development in assuring sustainability of cancer programs in USAPIN.
The USAPIN speak with a unified voice.
由于预防、筛查和治疗资源匮乏,癌症是美国关联太平洋岛屿国家(USAPIN)的主要死因。
我们描述了太平洋癌症倡议(PCI)和太平洋岛屿癌症理事会(CCPI)的组建情况,以应对USAPIN日益加重的癌症负担。自成立以来,PCI和CCPI已开展癌症需求评估、制定癌症战略计划,并为USAPIN获取了更多癌症项目资金。
我们强调国际/区域伙伴关系和参与式发展对于确保USAPIN癌症项目可持续性的重要性。
USAPIN发出了统一的声音。
