Increase the political priority given to cancer by demonstrating that a country’s investment in dealing with its growing cancer problem is an investment in the economic and social well-being of the country. Organisations concerned with cancer control should work with the global donor community, development agencies, the private sector and all civil society to invest in cancer control,
