It has been over four decades since the launch of the National Cancer Control Programme in India, yet the cancer screening rates for oral cancer remain unremarkable. Moreover, India is bracing a large burden of oral cancer with poor survival rates. An effective public health programme implementation relies on a multitude of factors related to cost-effective evidence-based interventions, the healthcare delivery system, public health human resource management, community behaviour, partnership with stakeholders, identifying opportunities and political commitment. In this context, we discuss the various challenges in the early detection of oral premalignant and malignant lesions and potential solutions.
自印度启动国家癌症控制计划以来已经过去了四十多年,但口腔癌的筛查率仍然乏善可陈。此外,印度还面临着口腔癌负担沉重、生存率低的问题。有效的公共卫生计划实施依赖于与成本效益证据为基础的干预措施、医疗保健提供系统、公共卫生人力资源管理、社区行为、与利益相关者的合作、识别机会和政治承诺等相关的众多因素。在此背景下,我们讨论了口腔癌前病变和恶性病变早期检测中的各种挑战以及潜在的解决方案。
