National Call to Action on Cancer Prevention and Survivorship

Unveiled at the Summit was a new Battle Plan for the WAR ON CANCER.

In October 2007, Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS, 17th Surgeon General of the United States (2002-2006) and President of the non-profit Canyon Ranch Institute, brought together the former Surgeons General of the United States to address national and global public health issues. At the request of LAF Chairman and Founder Lance Armstrong, four former United States Surgeons General collaborated with the cancer prevention and survivorship community to develop the National Call to Action on Cancer Prevention and Survivorship.

The four goals of the National Call to Action on Cancer Prevention and Survivorship are:
Empower Healthy Lifestyles to Prevent Cancer
Apply What We Know About Cancer Screening and Early Detection to All People
Ensure that All People Can Navigate Through the Health Care System
Provide Survivorship Care Plans and Systems of Support for All Cancer Survivors
