The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer is an independent organization funded by the federal government to accelerate action on cancer control for all Canadians.

"The Partnership plays an important role in knitting together the efforts of many so we can understand as a nation how we can advance cancer control."
- Jeffrey C. Lozon, Partnership Chair, 2006-2009

We are a partnership of cancer experts, charitable organizations, governments, patients and survivors, determined to bring change to the cancer control domain.

We work together to stimulate generation of new knowledge and accelerate the implementation of existing knowledge about cancer control across Canada.

The Partnership evolved from the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control – a volunteer-driven coalition working to counteract the growing burden of cancer on Canadian society. The coalition drafted Canada's first national cancer control plan and advocated successfully for its funding.
