NW Tribal Cancer Control Twenty Year Plan:
Working Toward Cancer-free Tribal Communities
The Twenty-year plan, Working Toward Cancer-free Tribal Communities, is based on theoretical assumptions that include:
- Cancer prevention and control efforts are best addressed through a comprehensive approach, rather than one that is based solely on specific cancer sites in the body
- Cancer control is a community issue
- The tribes participating in the Northwest Cancer Control Program will form coalitions between themselves and outside partners to address the issue of preventing and controlling cancer
- Tribal communities have the ability to influence public policy and effect change
- Cancer control must be addressed at multiple levels of care
- Data, research, and evaluation are essential tools for making decisions about cancer prevention and control
The goal of the Northwest Tribal Cancer Control Project’s Comprehensive Cancer Control Twenty-year Plan is to reduce cancer incidence, mortality, and morbidity among American Indians and Alaskan Natives (AI/AN) in Northwest tribal communities.
