ACS Launches Series to Outline 21st-Century Blueprint for Cancer Control

In an effort to refocus nationwide efforts in oncology care, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has begun to outline its vision for cancer control in the 21st century through a series of articles. The first article in this series, published July 1, addresses trends in cancer mortality and disparities in cancer outcomes. ACS found that one area of critical disparity in cancer outcomes was socioeconomic status, indicated by educational attainment. Future articles in the series will focus on areas such as prevention, screening and early detection, cancer care and treatment, and research.
