Abstract
Polish system of oncological care necessitates the development of comprehensive strategy. This article reviews strategic cancer control documents, which were developed in the past decade in other European countries. Observation and analysis of the documents lead to following conclusions: 1) defining a strategy requires good assessment and diagnosis of the present situation, including detection of main causes of shortcomings, 2) the goals and objectives should be well defi ned and logically distinguished from actions, 3) there is a need for clear distribution of roles of different actors in the strategy execution, 4) it is useful to indicate resources, including fi nancial resources, which are necessary in the strategy execution.
