Abstract

Rolando Camacho was born in Pinar del R�o-Cuba's westernmost province and, ironically enough, home to the country's richest tobacco-producing farmlands. He was about to leave for an engineering scholarship abroad when he accompanied a friend to medical school on the first day of classes in Havana, a bus ride that changed his life. Since completing his oncology residency in 1985, Dr Camacho has served as director of Pinar del R�o's Cancer Control Program, chair of the National Cancer Control Program, director of the National Oncology and Radiobiology Institute (INOR), and today, chair of the National Oncology Group. The Group advises the Ministry of Public Health through its National Cancer Control Unit on questions of cancer control policy, planning and development of human resources for cancer care, structure of services, material resource planning and cancer research. Since 1988, breast cancer has been a particular focus for Dr Camacho's research, practice and teaching. MEDICC Review spoke with Dr. Camacho for his views on the problem of cancer in Cuba, and the prospects for more effective control.

摘要

罗兰多·卡马乔（Rolando Camacho）出生于古巴西部省份比那尔德里奥（Pinar del R�o），这里有着该国最富饶的烟草种植区，颇具讽刺意味的是，他的人生轨迹也正是从这里开始改变。当时他即将获得一份去国外攻读工程学的奖学金，然而在去古巴哈瓦那（Havana）的第一天，他陪着一位朋友去医学院报到，就是这次经历改变了他的人生。1985 年完成肿瘤学住院医师培训后，卡马乔博士先后担任比那尔德里奥癌症控制项目主任、国家癌症控制项目主席、国家肿瘤学和放射生物学研究所（INOR）主任，现任国家肿瘤学组主席。该组织通过国家癌症控制单位向公共卫生部提供癌症控制政策、癌症护理人力资源规划和发展、服务结构、物资资源规划和癌症研究方面的建议。自 1988 年以来，乳腺癌一直是卡马乔博士研究、实践和教学的重点。《中美洲健康观察》（MEDICC Review）杂志采访了卡马乔博士，请他谈谈古巴癌症问题以及更有效地控制癌症的前景。
