At least half of all cancer deaths could be prevented
Tobacco use causes at least 1/3 of cancer deaths
Another 1/3 of cancer deaths can be attributed to obesity, poor nutrition and physical inactivity
Other preventable cancer risk factors include the HPV and HBV viruses, environmental
exposures (ex: radon gas) and UV exposure
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer for both men and women in NYS
Smoking is the most common cause of lung
cancer
Lung cancer accounts for over 26% of all cancer
deaths in NYS

Obesity rates continue to riseObesity among Adults Age 18 and Over, NYS and US*, 2000-2010
Several major cancers, including colon, breast, endometrial, kidney and esophageal, are associated with overweight and obesity. Adopting a physically active lifestyle, eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight can help
prevent cancer and improve cancer mortality rates

Cancer screening saves lives
Screenings for cervical and colorectal cancers
can detect growths before they become
cancerous
Screening tests can help find cancer at early stages when treatment is more
effective
Lack of health insurance is one of the biggest barriers to cancer screening

For individuals diagnosed with cancer, access to high quality treatment is critical
Barriers to treatment include lack of or
inadequate health insurance coverage or limited availability of
specialists or treatment centers, especially in
rural areas of New York
The effects of cancer do not end with the last treatment
1 MillionThe number of cancer survivors continues to rise and there are nearly 1 million survivors
alive today in NYSCancer survivors may face challenges during and after treatment, including those related to their physical and emotional health, as well as those
related to legal and financial matters
Palliative care should be an integral part of cancer treatment and care
Palliative care encompasses support from diagnosis
throughout the course of illness, including pain control and symptom management
With a focus on pain control and symptom management palliative care is a vital
service available to cancer patients to improve quality of life
The healthcare workforce plays an important role in cancer prevention and control efforts
Cancer care involves a broad category of healthcare professionals that includes specialties across the cancer continuum—from prevention and screening/diagnosis, to treatment, survivorship and palliative care
Access to an adequate healthcare workforce is necessary to prevent and control cancer in NYS
The NYS CCC Plan seeks to reduce the cancer burden in NYS by outlining a comprehensive approach to:
Prevent cancer by encouraging healthy behaviors and fostering communities that support and reinforce healthy lifestyles.
Increase early detection of cancer by raising awareness of and access to evidence-based cancer screenings.
Increase access to quality cancer treatment. Improve the integration of palliative care in cancer treatment
and care. Improve the quality of life for cancer survivors. Sustain an adequate health care workforce to meet the need
for all cancer services.
