癌症是菲律宾发病率和死亡率的第三大原因。主要的癌症部位/类型是肺癌、乳腺癌、宫颈癌、肝癌、结肠癌和直肠癌、前列腺癌、胃癌、口腔癌、卵巢癌和白血病。目前，癌症预防意识较低，大多数癌症患者只在晚期才寻求咨询。癌症存活率相对较低。菲律宾癌症控制计划始于1988年，是一种综合方法，在医院和社区层面利用该国不同地区的一级、二级和三级预防。本文讨论了六种铅癌(肺癌、乳腺癌、肝癌、宫颈癌、口腔癌、结肠癌和直肠癌)。描述了菲律宾特有的特征，并讨论了其原因和预防。最近的一项评估揭示了癌症控制计划的缺陷，并提出了紧急建议，以扭转预期的“癌症流行”。今天还有一个以社区为基础的癌症护理网络，旨在发展一个自给自足的社区网络，分担该国癌症护理和控制的责任。
Cancer is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the Philippines. Leading cancer sites/types are lung, breast, cervix, liver, colon and rectum, prostate, stomach, oral cavity, ovary and leukemia. There is at present a low cancer prevention consciousness and most cancer patients seek consultation only at advanced stages. Cancer survival rates are relatively low. The Philippine Cancer Control Program, begun in 1988, is an integrated approach utilizing primary, secondary and tertiary prevention in different regions of the country at both hospital and community levels. Six lead cancers (lung, breast, liver, cervix, oral cavity, colon and rectum) are discussed. Features peculiar to the Philippines are described; and their causation and prevention are discussed. A recent assessment revealed shortcomings in the Cancer Control Program and urgent recommendations were made to reverse the anticipated 'cancer epidemic'. There is also today in place a Community-based Cancer Care Network which seeks to develop a network of self-sufficient communities sharing responsibility for cancer care and control in the country.
