The 2015 Colorado Cancer Plan was released May 2011. The Cancer Plan will be in digital format only and can be downloaded by sections or as a whole document. This provides the user with up-to-date information and allows the plan to be updated with new information regarding strategies, technology and education. Objectives and their recommended strategies cover types of cancer, cancer mortality, health disparities, primary prevention, secondary prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, quality of life, and surveillance.
The Colorado Cancer Plan was developed by the Colorado Cancer Coalition Task Forces with consensus among the Colorado Cancer Coalition members. Established cancer control guidelines were utilized to provide information that will ultimately save lives from cancer in Colorado. The Colorado Cancer Coalition believes that defining these cancer goals, objectives and strategies will help to empower all of us in Colorado's fight against cancer.
The primary purpose of the Colorado Cancer Plan is:
· Promoting the collection and use of information about cancer.
· Improving healthy behaviors.
· Increasing screening rates
· Improving access to the full spectrum of cancer diagnosis and care
· Reducing disparities.
· Setting targets to improve cancer prevention and control.
· Supporting policies to facilitate these efforts.
