Cancer Plans

Since its creation the Cancer Institute NSW has developed three cancer plans for the state.

NSW Cancer Plan, 2004–2006
NSW Cancer Plan, 2007–2010
NSW Cancer Plan, 2011–2015

The current NSW Cancer Plan has three priority areas which are aimed at improving cancer outcomes. These priorities are:

Reduce the incidence of cancer
Increase survival with cancer
improve the quality of life for people with cancer and their carers

Underpinning these priorities, there are a number of cross-cutting goals:

A focus on improving cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people in rural and remote NSW.
A reporting cycle on the performance of cancer services.
Greater system-wide engagement with primary care.
Enhanced research capabilities with an emphasis on clinical trials, translational research and the more rapid uptake of new evidence into practice.

The Cancer Institute NSW also develops and manages a number of cancer related information and services for the people of NSW. These include:

The NSW Central Cancer Registry
Canrefer: an online directory for General practitioners, patients and carers to find referral information for specialist multidisciplinary cancer teams in NSW
eviQ: a portal for cancer treatments, providing evidence-based chemotherapy protocols, treatment information and tools at the point of care.
iCanQuit: an online community-based smoking cessation support website
Breastscreen NSW
NSW Cervical Screening program and the NSW Pap Test Register
