Get Involved
At the heart of the National Cancer Plan is the idea that everyone has a role in ending cancer as we know it.
No single group or person can do this alone. To succeed, individuals, advocates, researchers, health care providers, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits must work together to share knowledge, solve problems, remove barriers, and bring about meaningful change.
Here's how you can contribute to progress against cancer
We want you to share with the cancer community—and the world—how your work is helping to advance the eight goals of the National Cancer Plan.
By joining in the conversation, you’ll connect with others across the community to simultaneously explore various goals and topics. We hope that this combined effort will help to build new collaborations, identify gaps and challenges, and implement solutions to help us reduce cancer mortality.
