In the literature concerning national cancer control programmes and cancer care in general, the terms governance and/or stewardship in/of cancer care are frequently used. However, the terms are not defined or explained. In the frame of the project Innovative Partnership for Action Against Cancer (iPAAC JA) a systematic literature review in order to find the definitions of the terms governance and stewardship in/of cancer care was performed. In case of unsuccessful finds creation of new definitions of the mentioned terms was planned. We performed a literature review using Google, Pub Med, and MeSH and an opportunistic search for chapters from books, extra articles and grey literature. The analysed articles did not give definitions or exact explanations of the terms governance/stewardship in/of cancer care. In some of them older articles, published before the year 2000 were cited. However, the terms in older articles were used in the completely other fileds, mostly economy, banking, spirituality, religion or in the field of clinical governance. The working group of experts from different European institutions and countries collaborating in the work package Governance of integrated and comprehensive cancer care of the iPAAC JA decided to create new definitions, which will be particularly useful in the field of cancer control programmes and will facilitate the understanding of the leadership tasks in the demanding area of cancer care as well as cancer control.
