Cancer PlanThe New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan represents a statewide effort, using the collective input of hundreds of organizations and individuals, to eliminate cancer as a major health problem for all New Yorkers. This plan addresses the continuum of cancer from prevention to end-of-life care. Created over a period of 18 months beginning in the fall of 2001, a Core Work Group coordinated this effort, using the input of those across the state through surveys and community forums. The final plan was released in September of 2003, incorporating nine major goal areas:
Why is such a plan needed?In 2006, an estimated 88,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer in New York State…over 240 people each day. In 2006, an estimated 35,000 people will die from cancer in New York State… about 100 people each day.
