癌症是全世界发病率和死亡率的主要原因之一。2012年，有1.14亿新发癌症病例和1.81亿癌症死亡病例，其中70%发生在低收入和中等收入国家。癌症预防和控制工作的部分成功需要发展和加强公共卫生人力，特别是在癌症负担最重的中低收入国家。美国疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）通过在70多个国家的卫生部建立的现场流行病学培训项目（FETPs），支持全球劳动力能力的发展。为了加强FETP项目中癌症预防和控制方面的培训，美国疾病控制与预防中心制定了一套开放获取的应用癌症流行病学课程，并支持FETP项目学员开展与癌症相关的计划项目。课程包含癌症登记、筛查和综合癌症控制模块，这些模块与许多中低收入国家当前的癌症控制工作特别相关。课程的试点测试表明，学员的癌症知识有所增加，所涵盖的内容与他们的实地流行病学培训、癌症预防和控制项目和未来工作相关。2013年以来，CDC共支持13名学员开展癌症相关项目；两人发表了文章，两人在国际会议上展示了他们的成果，其他人正在撰写项目成果的手稿。通过开发开放获取的应用癌症流行病学课程和支持FETP学员的癌症相关项目，疾病预防控制中心向中低收入国家提供了技术援助，以建设癌症预防和控制工作的能力。
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 2012, there were > 14 million new cancer cases and > 8 million cancer deaths, with 70% of these deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Part of the success of cancer prevention and control efforts requires the development and strengthening of the public health workforce, particularly in LMICs where the cancer burden is the greatest. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports workforce capacity development globally through Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) established in ministries of health in > 70 countries. To enhance training in cancer prevention and control in FETPs, the CDC has developed an open-access curriculum in applied cancer epidemiology and supports FETP trainees who conduct cancer-related planned projects. The curriculum contains modules on cancer registration, screening, and comprehensive cancer control that are particularly relevant to current cancer control efforts in many LMICs. Pilot testing of the curriculum showed an increase in trainees’ cancer knowledge and covered content trainees found to be relevant to their field epidemiology training and projects and future work in cancer prevention and control. Since 2013, the CDC has supported 13 trainees with cancer-related projects; two have published articles, two have presented their results at international conferences, and others are writing manuscripts on their project outcomes. Through the development of an open-access applied cancer epidemiology curriculum and by supporting cancer-related projects for FETP trainees, the CDC provided technical assistance for LMICs to build capacity for cancer prevention and control efforts.
