Cancer Plan
Cancer has become the leading cause of death in our state and leaves no family untouched. It is estimated that 7,910 Mainers will be told, “You have cancer” in 2006. They will join the thousands of individuals in the state who are already living with the disease. By the end of the year, family, friends, and co-workers will mourn the loss of over 3,000 people to cancer.
The Maine Cancer Consortium is pleased to present the Maine Cancer Plan 2006 – 2010. Recognizing the need to dramatically impact the cancer burden, the Maine Cancer Consortium, Maine’s statewide comprehensive cancer control partnership, has updated the Maine Cancer Plan to reflect emerging needs and new issues in cancer prevention, detection, and care. The plan serves as a blueprint for what can and should be done at the state and local level for cancer prevention, detection, and care efforts in Maine. It identifies activities for coordinated action by government, the private sector, the non-profit sector, and Maine’s communities and people.
This cancer plan, created with the assistance of more than 130 organizations, builds upon Maine’s existing efforts, programs and services.
Thank you for using the Maine Cancer Plan 2006 – 2010. The Maine Cancer Consortium invites you to learn more about our efforts and to join us in our ongoing efforts to reduce the burden of cancer in Maine.
