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.

Share your work

  • Share what you are doing to move the cancer field forward on your various platforms—on your website, blog posts, newsletters. For social media, use #Every1HasARole and #NationalCancerPlan.   
  • Use your posts to start new discussions, engage with new collaborators, and transcend traditional boundaries. Check out related posts from across the community to broaden your own perspective and get inspiration from sample social media posts and graphics.  Tailor these assets to tell your story, for your audiences.
