The Kentucky Cancer Action Plan (KY CAP) is the state’s blueprint for cancer prevention and control by 2030. It was developed with the input of over 100 Kentucky Cancer Consortium (KCC) partners from across the Commonwealth. The KY CAP gives partners and communities a voice, provides evidence-based strategies, and can be used to inform policy change. It communicates the shared vision for all Kentuckians to have the ability to reduce their cancer risk, detect cancer early, access quality treatment and support for survivors and caregivers.
