As the provincially legislated cancer agency for Manitoba, CancerCare Manitoba must meet the needs of today, while planning for care and treatment of Manitobans in the future. To do so, a comprehensive and strategic report - the CancerCare Manaitoba Cancer Plan - is created every five years.

The CCMB Cancer Plan 2011 - 2015 builds on our previous efforts in prevention, detection, treatment, care and use of resources. Already, CCMB is a leader in innovative programs that improve cancer services for our patients and their families.

To stay the course and meet an anticipated 50 percent rise in cancer cases in the future, CCMB must achieve breakthrough objectives in the next five years. Working with our partners, we will build an aligned, integrated cancer service that provides accelerated early diagnosis and rapid delivery of quality care to patients, based on the following goals:

• Enhance our efforts to reduce the incidence of cancer
• Ensure timely access to cancer services for all Manitobans
• Incorporate highly safe practices, and put patients and their families at the centre of care
• Improve the cancer system's performance and responsiveness
• Translate research in improving cancer control and treatment
