Cancer Plan
Mountains of Hope authors the West Virginia State Cancer Plan. The 2026-2030 West Virginia State Cancer Plan provides a framework for improving cancer outcomes in our state at policy, system, and environmental levels. We encourage partners to utilize the Plan as they plan and implement their cancer-related work. Feel free to reach out to us to talk more about how we utilize our cancer plan!
Please email mountainsofhopewv@gmail.com
The Plan outlines overarching aims, objectives, and strategies for cancer control across the cancer continuum and is designed to help all cancer partners work together to achieve common goals. We would love for you to join us in this important work!
Prevention
Prevention is any action taken to lower the risk of getting cancer. This includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle by avoiding risk factors such as smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity, and ultraviolet radiation exposure.
Early Detection
Early detection is finding cancer early through regular use of screening tests. Finding cancer early allows for better outcomes with less-invasive treatments.
Quality of Life
Quality of life focuses on the cancer experience (patient, family, caregivers, and support persons) from the point of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond, and until end of life.
