CANCER IN THE PHILIPPINES
CANCER IN THE
PHILIPPINES
Cancer is now the THIRD leading cause of death in the country. Breast, Lung and Colorectal cancers are the top 3 incidence while Lung ranks number 1 in mortality.
The country has the National Integrated Cancer Control Act (NICCA) which aims to boosts cancer control efforts, improve survivorship and reduce burden of disease.
However, much remains to be done. Implementation of key provisions needs to be advanced and accelerated.
