Action Plan To Reduce the Burden of Cancer

in Monroe County

About the Plan

• Started with NYS Cancer Control Plan as the Foundation

• Committee identified priority areas

• The plan is a starting point for addressing cancer burden

• Four focus areas:• Awareness• Prevention• Screening• Support Services

Awareness

• Media and events during national cancer months• Focus on cancers in which there is good evidence

about prevention and screening• Breast - October• Lung - November• Cervical - January• Colorectal - March• Skin - May

• Build upon efforts underway

Prevention

• Promote smoke free policies – Workplaces grounds– College campuses– Municipalities

**Reasons: – Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths– 90% of lung cancers are smoking related

Screening

• Identify best strategies to increase colorectal cancer screening rates.

**Reasons: – Colorectal cancer 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths– If everyone were screened, could prevent 60% of

deaths due to CRC (CDC)

Support Services for those with Cancer

• Determine if existing services meeting the needs of patients, especially African American and Latino residents.

• Develop a plan to best meet needs

**Reasons:– Financial, social/emotional, burdens of cancer– Some face transportation issues

Next Steps

• Multiple cancer awareness and media events will occur throughout the calendar year to reinforce key messages.

• A colorectal cancer screening committee will be formed to assess community needs.

• A cancer support services committee will be formed to assess community needs.
