Comprehensive cancer control is an integrated and coordinated approach to reducing cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality through prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation & palliation.

 
The Nevada Cancer Coalition is dedicated to bringing together individuals, organizations, health care providers, and agencies in order to reduce the burden that cancer places on the people of our state.

The Nevada Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan is focused on prevention, early detection, treatment, data and research, survivor issues, and end of life/palliation. The plan includes the top priorities that cancer control professionals believe should be the focal point for immediate action in order to assure that it reflects the concerns of the people of the state. Their views are expressed throughout the plan.

The plan has the following components:

  • A look at how cancer affects Nevada
  • Mission and goals of the project
  • Objectives and Strategies covering the following areas:
    • Prevention
    • Early Detection
    • Treatment
    • Survivor Issues
    • End of Life/Pallation
    • Data and Research

Funded primarily through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the NVCC provides a mechanism for collaboration of a diverse group of Nevada stakeholders. Council members are both individuals affected by cancer, and representatives of public and private agencies engaged in cancer research, surveillance, prevention and education, clinical and supportive care, and advocacy.
