Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of Program Activities, Vol. 4: National Cancer Institute, Fiscal Year 1981
Current optimal techniques for preventing or treating cancer must be considered as imperfect and as in a constant state of evolution. Despite this fact, great benefit could be derived if the entire population had access to current optimal techniques. One aspect of cancer control is, therefore, to determine, by expert consensus, the currently acceptable standard of management for all aspects of the health care continuum for particular cancers. Discrepancies between this baseline standard of management (esm) and the actual management practiced in particular communities can be ascertained and appropriate steps taken to achieve the baseline. Attempts to do this must, however, be predicated on the under standing that the baseline is dynamic and that today's standard is tomorrow's outmoded technology.
