UCCC REORGANIZATION AND LIQUIDATION
According to WHO last data, 10. 000. 000 persons are getting cancer and 6. 000. 000 are dying annually in the world at the present time. About year 2020, the cancer incidence will raise up to 20. 000. 000, and the mortality - 10.000. 000 cases. Finally, the issue of cancer will pass the borders of health care and gain the significance of global social problem. That's why, the cancer fight already represents the prioritized direction of social sphere.
It also should be mentioned, that person gets cancer in the time of professional and creative development (45-65 year), when one's activity brings the maximal effect. That is the reason, that cancer causes the huge economical damage to the world and obstacles it's development.
Most of the world scientists, the leader specialists of American Cancer Society (ACS, 2001) and International Union Against Cancer (UICC, 2001) among of them, came at final point, that the special attention of cancer fight should be stressed on health promotion and diseases prevention, which represents the prioritized direction of XXI century.
According to American Cancer Society (ACS, 2001) and International Union Against Cancer (UICC, 2001), prevention gives the possibility to reduce the development of 70% of all sites cancer, 35% of them are in cause-result correlation with alcohol and tobacco abuse and 35% - with incorrect diet. Due to life style changing the development of 90% of tumors could be avoided.
Caucasus, which geographically consists the regions south and north beyond the Caucasian Crest and is situated between the Black and Caspian Seas, represents the unique entire ecological body. The ecosystems of Caucasian countries are significantly interacted and dependent on each other. Evidently, administrative borders couldn't divide them. Naturally, and more frequently anthropologically derived changes in one of the Caucasian countries ecosystems are effecting the population of this country and ecosystems and population of neighboring countries as well. To avoid the possible anthropologically derived cataclysms and associated severe results the overall readiness and establishing of environment epidemiological control are especially significant at the present time. Consequently, every Caucasian country and their entire population are interested on working out of global Caucasian environment protection policy and hygienic standards. The last represents the prioritized direction of cancer fight in terms of cancer prevention issues. Considering the interstate trading and bartering of goods, the working out of entire policy and hygienic standards in field of manufacturing and trading of dietary and everyday-use products is very important.
Starting of cancer primary prevention in Caucasus will be possible after the realization of following goals:
1. Protection of environment in Caucasian countries (atmospheric and working place air, soil, drinking water, Black and Caspian Seas, flora and fauna, dietary products, products of massive use, and etc) from pollution by chemical and radioactive carcinogens and biological agents (viruses, bacteria and etc), reglamentation of carcinogenic agents exposure, population health promotion and cancer prevention;
2. Popularization of healthy life style in Caucasian countries first of all should be directed against the tobacco smoking;
3. Preparation of legislative packages and advocacy efforts for their adoption by Caucasian countries parliaments, which will prohibit:
Tobacco smoking in governmental and non-governmental organizations and places of public meetings;
Tobacco products (as one of the mean of health hazardous narcotics) and strong alcoholic drinks advertisement;
Advertisement of dietary products, non-alcoholic drinks and other products of massive use, without the preliminary testing on content of carcinogenic agents, and consequently without appropriate certificate.
According to decision of I-St congress of Trans-Caucasian Oncologists (Tbilisi, 1998), in order of Caucasian population social protection and coordination of cancer fight activities, the following tasks were determined:
Creation of entire cancer fight information- and communication system between Caucasian countries (Tbilisi-Baki-Erevan);
Working out of global regional policy and creation of Caucasian program of cancer fight, with preparation of appropriate inter-country legislation acts;
Preparation of joint projects for granting on prioritized issues of cancer fight.
At the present time, because of economical situation in region, where the adequate financing of cancer fight programs is not possible, for solving of prioritized goals of region, I-St congress of Trans-Caucasian Oncologists first of all decided the creation of non-governmental societies and unions.
Besides, at the present time of cultural and economical globalization process, when the Caucasian countries and region international intersectional integration becomes inevitable, the establishing of Caucasian countries non-governmental professional relations with their future development, also taking of joint efforts for cancer fight intensification and putting them to new steps of progress gains drastic importance. The creation of Caucasian professional union will promote every above-mentioned issue.
