The assumptions behind our view are:1. Cancer is an important public health problem2. Cancer is a growing public health problem3. Many cancers are preventable, many others can be cured and only small proportions lie outside the domains ofprevention and cure.4. The strategy encompasses all necessary partners (academic, health, environmental, NGOs …etc)We believe that the first correct step in the strategy is adequate population-based cancer registration. The authors areprepared to discuss their views with open constructive mind.
