Abstract:
State cancer plans facilitate prioritization and stakeholder engagement in preventing and controlling cancer. Implementation plans further help stakeholders prioritize efforts, reduce redundancy, and find opportunities for work synergies. A review of cancer plan implementations plans was performed in the development of an implementation plan for the Florida Cancer Plan. This review sought to identify, characterize, and summarize the use of implementation plans that support comprehensive cancer control activities. Although 100% of states and territories published a cancer plan and 78% of states provided funding for implementing their state cancer plans, only 32% published an implementation plan. Commonalities and unique features of state cancer plan implementations are presented and discussed. An example implementation plan is provided for states without a plan to model.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
