The Role of the Cancer Assosiation and the Family Pracitioner

  • Frayne Furniss

Abstract

The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) plays an important role at various levels of care: health promotion; secondary prevention; palliative care; and supportive services. Although not directly involved in a curative role, CANSA works closely with oncology services to help provide support for cancer patients receiving treatment. CANSA also helps fund research initiatives such as the National Cancer Registry.
