The use of national, coordinated and comprehensive strategies supported by evidence and focused on a specific cancer is one model for improving cancer control. The National Breast Cancer Centre (NBCC) was established in Australia in 1995 to coordinate breast cancer control initiatives across the country and has successfully achieved a number of world-firsts in this thirteen year period. Crucial elements of the initiative have included broad consultation with key stakeholders, evidence-based focus, addressing recognized gaps in care, multidisciplinary input including consumer involvement, innovative approaches, and independent operation notwithstanding government funding. The NBCC's experience has been extended to ovarian cancer control and may be useful for others intending to establish national programs in cancer control.
采用由证据支持、针对特定癌症的全国性、协调一致且全面的战略是改善癌症控制的一种模式。澳大利亚于1995年成立了国家乳腺癌中心（NBCC），以协调全国的乳腺癌控制举措，并在这13年期间成功取得了多项世界首创成果。该举措的关键要素包括与主要利益相关者进行广泛协商、以证据为基础、填补公认的护理缺口、多学科投入（包括消费者参与）、创新方法以及尽管有政府资金支持但保持独立运作。NBCC的经验已扩展至卵巢癌控制，可能对其他有意建立国家癌症控制项目的机构有用。
