Abstract
The “Bangkok Declarations” highlight key strategies to reduce the cancer burden in Asia. Recognizing the role of lifestyle factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diets, and inactivity, they advocate for public health initiatives promoting healthier communities. Environmental risks must also be addressed to enhance prevention strategies. Vaccination programs targeting cancer-causing viruses are emphasized for reducing incidence rates. However, limited access to cancer screening and early detection services remains a challenge, requiring improvements to boost early intervention and patient outcomes. The financial burden of cancer treatment is critical, necessitating cost-effective therapies and financial support systems. Mental health support for patients and caregivers is essential for holistic care. Digital health technologies and AI offer promise for improving diagnosis and treatment in resource-limited settings. Collaboration among stakeholders is vital, with culturally sensitive approaches ensuring equitable care. Research should focus on lifestyle, environmental factors, innovative prevention, and access to care for effective cancer control.
