PROGRAMS

INCTR emphasizes long-term collaboration in the context of projects and programs related to specific diseases as a multi-purpose tool in which education is coupled to patient benefits and to the expansion of the "evidence base" in the context of lower and middle income countries. In addition to these specific projects, INCTR is developing a set of foundational programs which are designed to build capacity and improve cancer control. These programs include: focused workshops, cataloging and reviewing local evidence, building infrastructure for clinical research, developing human resources via partnerships programs, and community health centers.

Because so many cancer patients in developing countries present in the late stages of their disease, sometimes the only treatment option available to doctors is to make their patients as comfortable as possible. With this in mind, INCTR established a Palliative Care program, PAX, to assist developing countries to initiate and sustain effective palliative care schemes suitable for their countries.
