Background: Although cervical cancer is largely preventable, it continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Sudan, due to the lack of national control programs. This study aimed to evaluate the availability of cervical cancer prevention services and assess the facility readiness in Khartoum state, as a base for future plans. Methods: This study was an observational, mixed-method, health service research. Purposive sampling method was used to select focal persons to explore the current situation and the available services qualitatively. Observation through standardized checklists of screening and colposcopy centers was conducted, and service providers were interviewed. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze data. Results: Based on the qualitative interviews, Khartoum Oncology Hospital is the only specialized center providing chemotherapy and radiotherapy services for the state. Although six screening and nine diagnostic centers were surveyed, services were not available in most localities. Reasonable but unutilized resources in the secondary level exist at the time of the study, primary-level efforts to control cervical cancer are uncoordinated and ineffective, with no linked efforts at the community level. Since initiatives to reduce cervical cancer mortality need to adopt a holistic approach to the disease continuum, a comprehensive model was suggested and explained, the gaps and challenges were discussed. Conclusion: Cervical cancer prevention still remains a highly unaddressed need in Sudan. Sustainable financing of robust programs is necessary to achieve elimination. Contextually relevant devices must be selected to improve resource allocation. These results might be useful for the establishment of cervical cancer control in Sudan.

Abstract Background: Cancer cervix and breast are the two major female health problems in India. A hospital-based, 5-year (2010–2014) retrospective study was conducted at a regional cancer center of Odisha to analyze the present burden of cancer cervix in this state, which has a population of more than 45.5 million at present. Materials and Methods: All the patients suffering from cancer cervix that was treated by radiotherapy during 2010–2014 at this center were analyzed year wise for age, stage of disease, and native area. Results: Based on the Census 2011 data, it was calculated and found that from the low-literacy area on an average of 4.62 cervical cancer patients per million, from the medium-literacy area 6.56 patients per million, and from high-literacy area 19.11 patients per million of population have received radiotherapy in this hospital. More than 60% of patients with cervical cancer were from stage IIIB and in the age group of 50–55 years. Discussion: Odisha has 83.7% female population in rural areas with literacy rate below 50%. Due to lack of awareness and unavailability of cancer care facilities at their reach, they mainly depend on various alternative medicines in unscientific manner for their health care. Conclusion: Strengthening of existing regional cancer center, development of oncology wings in all medical college hospitals by providing basic radiotherapy facilities, emphasizing more on district cancer control programs, decentralizing of NGO schemes, and facilitating with more cancer screening and awareness programs may help better registration, prevention, and treatment of cancer in Odisha.

Cancer Control Program

ON JANUARY 1, 1967, the Cancer Control Program will become part of the National Center for Chronic Disease Control within the Public Health Service's new Bureau of Disease Prevention and Environmental Control. Our primary mission is to stimulate and encourage the application of currently available techniques of cancer prevention, cancer detection, and cancer control to the community at the grass roots level. If this will be the case after the reorganization remains to be seen. Figure 1 shows the new organization of the Public Health Service. By way of illustration, I think it would be well to briefly outline a few of our activities. An area of heavy emphasis has been the use of the Papanicolaou smears for cervical cancer control. These programs have been responsible for developing certified cytotechnology training schools, supporting and training large numbers of cytotechnicians. In addition, we are supporting some 90 hospital-based cervical cancer screening projects across the country. A program to encourage the general practitioner to screen his private patients in the office is jointly sponsored by the American Academy of General Practice and the Cancer Control Program. The very grave problem in the United States of smoking and carcinoma of the lung is the major responsibility of tile National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, a part of the Division of Chronic Diseases which developed out of the Cancer Control Program. We are engaged in a number of developmental projects, such as the flexible fiber optic proctosigmoidoscope. We hope to be able to produce a proctosigmoidoscope that will reach the splenic flexure.
