Description
Summary:Details of the country's national cancer control plan (Plan Esperanza), and the recommendations following the imPACT report, are presented by Vidurre and colleagues at the Peruvian National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (Lima, Peru), with the original imPACT report available in full in their appendix. [...]the Series concludes with a paper by Anderson and colleagues from the University of Washington (Seattle, WA, USA) that outlines a specific stakeholder and collaborator intervention in rural Peru-the Community-Based Program for Breast Health, based on the phased implementation model of the Breast Cancer Initiative 2.5.3 This paper clearly shows how a targeted and resource-adapted intervention has been tailored to local realities to help improve outcomes of Peruvian women with breast cancer.
