Our Strategic Focus

Organizations worldwide share cancer control priorities: enhancing prevention, screening and early detection, person-centred care, development of cancer guidelines and standards, research, gathering and analyzing data related to cancer and enabling quality across the cancer control system.

The Partnership has identified areas of focus across these priorities – these are areas where the Partnership knows it can work with partners to have an impact on the cancer control landscape. Some priorities address very specific areas of cancer control, such as population-based screening, while others target the broader cancer control domain.

The following is a list of initiatives grouped by priority area as outlined in the cancer control strategy.
