Policy change continues to be an increasingly effective means of advancing the agenda of comprehensive cancer control. Efforts have moved progressively from describing how public policy can enhance the comprehensive cancer control agenda to implementation of public policy best practices at both the state and federal levels. The current political and economic contexts bring additional challenges and opportunities to the efforts surrounding comprehensive cancer control and policy. The purpose of this paper is to highlight recent policy successes, to illustrate the importance of policy as a means of advancing the comprehensive cancer control agenda, and to discuss continued policy action as we move forward in a time of healthcare reform and continuing economic uncertainty.
政策变革一直是推进综合癌症控制议程的一种日益有效的手段。人们的努力已经逐渐从描述公共政策如何能够促进综合癌症控制议程发展到在州和联邦各级实施公共政策最佳实践。当前的政治和经济环境为综合癌症控制和政策相关工作带来了额外的挑战和机遇。本文旨在强调最近的政策成功，说明政策作为推进综合癌症控制议程的一种手段的重要性，并在医疗改革和持续经济不确定性的时代背景下，探讨持续的政策行动。
