Based on a long-standing cooperation in medicine and public health between the United States and the Soviet Union, and on the potential contributions to be made by scientists from both of these countries, the World Health Organization invited an American-Soviet collaborative team to recommend a cancer control program for the Government of India. The consultants defined the importance of cancer of the cervix uteri and of the oral cavity, which comprise one-half of India's cancer cases, as the basis for a cancer control program. They recommended incorporation of cancer control functions into the organizational structure of the Ministry of Health as well as specific recommendations in education, prevention, and early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiologic studies. The mission underscores the value of multinational cooperation on health care problems that are faced in common by the United States, the Soviet Union, and other countries of the world. In addition it serves as a basis for international friendship and understanding in the context of mutually productive activities which may provide a benefit for all nations.
基于美国和苏联在医学与公共卫生领域的长期合作，以及两国科学家可能做出的贡献，世界卫生组织邀请了一个美-苏合作团队为印度政府推荐一项癌症控制计划。顾问们确定了子宫颈癌和口腔癌的重要性，这两种癌症占印度癌症病例的一半，以此作为癌症控制计划的基础。他们建议将癌症控制职能纳入卫生部的组织结构，并在教育、预防、早期发现、诊断、治疗和流行病学研究方面提出具体建议。该任务凸显了在医疗保健问题上开展多国合作的价值，这些问题是美国、苏联和世界其他国家共同面临的。此外，它还为相互有益的活动背景下的国际友谊与理解奠定了基础，这些活动可能会为所有国家带来益处。
