| Vision |

Our vision for the State of Oregon is a place where:
- Stakeholders take an integrated and coordinated approach in order to maximize and achieve desired cancer control outcomes
- Efforts include population-based prevention approaches for cancer
- Individuals will not get preventable cancer
- Those individuals with detectable cancers are diagnosed in the earliest stage of the disease
- Those individuals with treatable cancers are given the highest quality state-of-the art care and rehabilitation necessary to optimize their survival and quality of life.
- Those individuals in the end stages of incurable cancers are cared for in a way that maximizes the quality of their life and death
- Full support is given to research directed toward understanding the causes of cancers and toward improving prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation and palliation
- There will be respect for family and friends who are caregivers of persons with cancer
- Health care providers will have access to resources to provide evidence-based comprehensive care

Workgroups:
During the months April through October 2004, Workgroups will review data and assess services and activities already in place. They will identify gaps in services and prioritize activities to address these gaps. Each Workgroup will develop specific goals, objectives and strategies for action for the 5-year state cancer control plan. All Workgroups will include a focus on health disparities and the integration of data as a basis for decision-making.
