The National Cancer Plan is a flexible tool, not a prescriptive manual.
In this roadmap, while the destinations are clear, the paths will be different, unexpected, winding, and unpredictable in many cases. The National Cancer Plan is a flexible tool, not a prescriptive manual. Ultimately, we are all driving in the same direction, and the National Cancer Plan will help us innovate, monitor, and celebrate our speed of progress and key milestones. The NCI is poised to lead this new era by example with a culture of innovation and collaboration, using the National Cancer Plan to empower a broad community to work together in those spaces between the goals to end cancer as we know it. I look forward to hearing from you about how you are using the plan to drive innovation and collaboration in your areas of work.
