Cancer has been the leading cause of death in Japan since 1981. The Japanese government implemented the Comprehensive 10-year Strategy for Cancer Control in 1984, following which the Second- and Third-term Comprehensive 10-year Strategy for Cancer Control have been implemented every 10years to promote cancer research and disseminate high-quality cancer medical services. The Cancer Control Act was approved in June 2006, and the law has been implemented since April 2007. Based on this law, the Basic Plan to Promote Cancer Control program was discussed by the Cancer Control Promotion Council and approved by the Cabinet of Japan in June 2007. This plan was launched in June 2007, and covered 5 fiscal years from 2007 to 2011. It also provides a model for developing the Prefectural Plan to Promote Cancer Control. The Basic Plan needs to be updated at least every 5 years under the Cancer Control Act; therefore, the Phase Two Basic Plan was approved by the Japanese Cabinet in June 2012. Although the first plan was limited to medicine or medical care, the second plan was broadened to include social undertakings such as patient support in terms of job acquisition or student education for an indepth understanding of cancer. This paper includes the history of cancer control promotion in Japan and viewpoints on the basic plan for cancer control.
自1981年以来，癌症一直是日本的主要死因。日本政府于1984年实施了《癌症控制综合十年战略》，此后每10年实施一次第二和第三个《癌症控制综合十年战略》，以促进癌症研究并推广高质量的癌症医疗服务。《癌症控制法》于2006年6月获得批准，并于2007年4月起实施。基于该法律，癌症控制促进委员会讨论了《促进癌症控制计划基本方案》，并于2007年6月获得日本内阁批准。该方案于2007年6月启动，涵盖2007年至2011年的5个财政年度。它还为制定《促进癌症控制的县计划》提供了一个模式。根据《癌症控制法》，基本方案需要至少每5年更新一次；因此，第二阶段基本方案于2012年6月获得日本内阁批准。虽然第一个方案仅限于医学或医疗护理，但第二个方案扩大到包括社会事业，如在就业获取方面为患者提供支持或开展学生教育以深入了解癌症。本文介绍了日本促进癌症控制的历史以及对癌症控制基本方案的观点。
