policy work and was in charge of developing the
second National Cancer Programme for the period
2011–2015 that was presented to the public in April
2011.
We have kept the same appearance of the publica-
tion. This time, photographs by the well-known
Bernese photographer Reto Camenisch design and
structure the report. The portraits and landscape
photographs are from Camenisch’s monograph,
“Berge Pilger Orte”, taken in 2009 on a hiking trip
through northern India, Nepal, and Tibet.
In closing, we would like to extend heartfelt thanks
to all of the donors for placing their trust in us over
the last years and supporting our work so generously;
all of the researchers for their great efforts in
the fight against cancer; and all of the people who
worked on this edition of the cancer research report.
