The Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control, BC/Yukon (CSCC BC/Y) was a broad-based coalition network for bringing parties together, defining shared priorities and mobilizing a collective effort to enhance cancer control in BC and the Yukon.
The CSCC BC/Y’s priority areas of focus were:
- primary prevention;
- early detection/ screening; and
- quality end of life/ palliative care
– project initiatives concluded in July 2009. The work was built on the blueprint framework, developed by the former national CSCC, for a comprehensive, collaborative and population-based approach to tackle the looming cancer crisis.
