Colorado Cancer Plan goals

The 2021-2025 Colorado Cancer Plan provides a five-year framework to reduce the risk, incidence, and mortality associated with cancer in Colorado. This plan represents a shared approach to overcoming Colorado’s cancer challenges through primary prevention, early detection, effective treatment, and support for survivors from the time of diagnosis until the end of life.

The plan’s objectives are organized along the cancer continuum of care rather than by type of cancer. It is not a detailed action plan, but rather a roadmap of broad goals, specific objectives, and evidence-based strategies.
