Pact.Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) is a programme created by the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in
2004 to build upon the Agency’s experience in radiation medicine and technology, and enable
developing countries to introduce, expand or improve their
cancer care capacity and services in a sustainable manner by integrating
radiotherapy into a comprehensive cancer control programme that maximizes its therapeutic effectiveness and impact. Such a programme integrates and aligns cancer prevention, surveillance, screening and early detection, treatment and palliative care activities and investments, and is set up based on the Guidelines of the
World Health Organization (WHO). It also addresses other challenges such as infrastructure gaps and, through partnerships, builds capacity and long term support for continuous education and training of cancer care professionals, as well as for community-based civil society action to combat cancer.
