[Comment] An action plan for cancer control in the USA

The USA has the best-funded health-care system in the world. Nonetheless, 1·6 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer annually; 600 000 people die from their disease every year; and many of the 15·5 million survivors need some form of supportive care to alleviate long-term symptoms. And, shockingly, it is estimated that overall cancer mortality across the entire US population could be decreased by as much as 25% by simply affording all members of society the same access to, and quality of, cancer care.
