Summary: 

The International Cancer Control Partnership (http://www.iccp-portal.org/) (ICCP), with project leadership from WHO and UICC, conducted a global review of NCCPs and other cancer-related documents. As part of this international collaboration, a group of 67 expert reviewers based in 16 different countries reviewed over 500 documents from 158 countries. The survey consisted of a 121-question tool covering the cancer control continuum. The purpose of the review was to understand the strengths and limitations of current plans and the key domains addressed. Data from the review can be used by all stakeholders, from national planners to researchers to civil society, to advocate for NCCPs that are effectively formulated, financed, implemented and monitored.
