The Minnesota Cancer Alliance is a broad partnership of organizations and leaders from across Minnesota. We represent public health and health care organizations, cancer centers, culturally diverse organizations, researchers, nonprofit organizations, cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates — all dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer across the continuum from prevention and detection to treatment, survivorship, and end-of-life care. Our vision is for Minnesota to be a place where:
- Preventable cancers do not occur.
- People who develop cancer are diagnosed in the earliest stage possible.
- People with cancer are given the highest quality, state-of-the-art care available to maximize their chances of survival and quality of life.
- Preventable disparities in the prevention of cancer, and in the quality, experience, and outcomes of care for patients with cancer, are eliminated.
- Full support is given to research about the causes of cancers, prevention, early detection, treatment, quality of life, and palliation.
