In particular, local capacity to train and mentor practitioners within the region is not sufficient to ensure sustainable cancer control. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), through its Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) in cooperation with its international partners in cancer control, launched, in 2010, an initiative to establish a Virtual University for Cancer Control supported by regional cancer training and mentorship networks.
