Province unveils new plan in cancer battle

As the number of cancer cases in Alberta continues to rise, the province has announced a new strategy, Changing Our Future: Alberta’s Cancer Plan to 2030, for cancer prevention, curing cancer, and reducing the suffering of cancer patients. “Every day, 42 Albertans learn they have cancer. We expect that to grow to 73 new cancer cases a day by 2030. We aim to change that,” said Health Minister Fred Horne. “Even though we have exceptional cancer care, we need to do more starting today. To wait means losing the opportunity to get ahead of the curve and that will end up costing much more in lives and in dollars.” Read more here.
