Capacity building framework for cancer research in Africa. A comprehensive cancer research and training programme will need appropriate infrastructure, resources, mentorship and leadership training, funding and research partnerships, which should be accompanied by the highest levels of ethical, legal and socially appropriate standards for research. Evidence obtained from cancer research will be used for the creation of cancer control and prevention initiatives. In addition, cancer research will be important for the monitoring and evaluation of those initiatives for efficacy and effectiveness.
