Imagine a world where most cancers can be prevented. What does that mean for you? The National Cancer Plan, led by the National Cancer Institute, is a call to action for each of us to do our part to help prevent more cancers and ensure that every person with cancer lives a full and active life. Explore the plan’s eight goals to end cancer.
This plan has three parts:
- Eight goals to stop cancer, save lives, and help cancer patients live better.
- Strategies for each goal, explaining what research and actions we need.
- A call for everyone to help end cancer as part of the Cancer Moonshot. This plan will change over time as we learn more about cancer and how to fight it.
