Aloha kakou,We are very proud of the accomplishments of the Hawaii Comprehensive CancerControl Coalition in developing the state's first Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan.The plan was created by a group of diverse, focused, and compassionate individualsdedicated to saving lives and improving the quality of life for individuals affected bycancer.Hawaii Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan is intended as a road map for the next fiveyears to achieve reductions in cancer rates and to improve health outcomes and qualityof life for all individuals, families, and communities touched by cancer. We are encouraged by the progress already achieved and mindful that much work needs to be done.The Lehua,is the first blossomto appear ona new lava flow.a symbol of hopeand new lifeThe battle against cancer will require the collective effort, cooperation and collaboration of communities, public and private organizations, and individuals to achieve ourstate vision of “No More Cancer”.I commend the Hawaii Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition for their excellentwork. Hawaii can significantly change the course of cancer through a coordinatedeffort of organizations working together in a comprehensive, statewide approach tocancer control. There is no doubt that developing and implementing a state cancerplan that addresses the state’s cancer burden requires a new way of thinking and working. Lasting partnerships have been developed and strengthened as a result of thisstrategic plan. We are grateful for those participants and individuals who facilitated theproduction of this blueprint for action and look forward to ongoing collaboration as wemove to implementation of the many objectives of this plan.Chiyome Leinaala Fukino, MDDirectorHawaii State Department of HealthHA W AIICOMPREHENSIVECANCERCONTROL

Chair & Vice Chair MessageDear Residents of HawaiiAlthough cancer death rates are falling in Hawaii, cancer remains the second leadingcause of death in our state, following cardiovascular disease. Effective cancer prevention and control requires an integrated planning process.The Hawaii Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition is pleased to present you withthe Hawaii Cancer Plan 2004-2009. This plan outlines goals and priorities that willassist Hawaii in making further progress toward reducing the burden of cancer in thepresent and future. The "No More Cancer" Strategic Plan provides the state with a comprehensive, integrated plan of action that highlights strategies targeting cancer education, prevention, screening, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and quality of lifeconcerns that include pain management, medical costs, and access to supportive care.To produce this Plan, the Hawaii Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition examinedthe current burden of cancer as well as risk factors that contribute to cancer in Hawaiiand came to a consensus to establish priorities for the next five years.This Plan is merely the beginning. As science and practical experience grow, new challenges, innovative tools, and more effective strategies will emerge based on the changing needs of our state's residents. This Plan is intended to be a living, dynamic roadmap, used by organizations, communities, and individuals to create, implement, and sustain activities to reduce the cancer burden throughout the state. Hawaii’s Cancer Planwill involve many sectors of our society, including community-based organizations,medical insurance companies, social groups, the fields of social work, nursing, medicineand education, local public health agencies and state and local government in additionto many individuals across our unique state.Thank you for using the Hawaii Cancer Plan. The HawaiiComprehensive Cancer Control Coalition invites you to join us in ourongoing efforts to further reduce the impact of cancer in Hawaii.STRATEGVirginia Pressler, M.D.Carolyn Gotay, PhD.HCCCP Coalition ChairpersonHCCCP Coalition Vice ChairpersonICPLANTOADV ANCECANCERCONTROL1

Executive SummaryComprehensive Cancer ControlStrategies For HawaiiExecutive SummaryCancer is the second leading cause of death in our nation, causing 25% of all deaths eachyear (ACS, 2004). Last year, more than 5,000 Hawaii residents were told they have cancer(Hawaii Cancer Facts & Figures 2003-2004). In over a six-year period in Hawaii (19952000), close to 10,400 of our neighbors lost their lives to this disease. Cancer continuesto take a terrible toll on the state, year after year; however, advances in research havebrought us to the point where cancer is no longer the automatic death sentence it oncewas. Today there are over 10 million cancer survivors, not just the individual diagnosedwith cancer, but their family, friends, and caregivers (2002). Scientific evidence suggeststhat it may be possible to reduce cancer deaths by up to one-third by preventing tobaccouse, improving nutrition and maintaining a body weight within the recommended range(Hawaii Cancer Facts & Figures 2003-2004). Due to advances in scientific research andclinical practices as well as increased patient access toclinical trials, the number of residents surviving cancerand defeating it continues to grow in our state.Hawaii can significantly change the course of cancerthrough a coordinated effort of organizations workingtogether in a comprehensive, statewide approach tocancer control. Developing and implementing a statecancer plan that comprehensively addresses a state’scancer burden requires a new way of thinking. No single organization has the capacity to address all ofHawaii’s cancer control needs. Therefore, during themonths of October 2002 – January 2003, approximately75 key leaders from cancer, health care, and communityorganizations throughout the state came together for aseries of four meetings sponsored jointly by the American Cancer Society, The CancerResearch Center of Hawaii, and the Hawaii State Department of Health. The overall purpose of the four meetings was to develop a strategic plan that included a common comprehensive cancer control vision for the state of Hawaii and to identify correspondinggoals, challenges, and strategies. Framed by guiding principles and overarching crosscutting strategies that include health parity and cultural competancy as well as coordinationand collaboration, this plan reflects the diversity of the participants and the diversity ofour island state. The following eight goals were determined to be the top priorities thatwill advance cancer control in Hawaii. These goals are:Goal 1: Prevention - Prevent cancer from occurring, especially through education andbehavior change strategies.Goal 2: Early Detection - Detect cancer at its earliest stages and assure coordinationwith cancer management services.Goal 3: Diagnosis/Treatment - When cancer is detected, manage cancer with themost current and effective treatments available.Goal 4: Quality of Life - Assist cancer patients and their loved ones in achieving thehighest quality of life available to them.8HA W AIICOMPREHENSIVECANCERCONTROL

Executive SummaryGoal 5: Research - Promote research to advance the capabilities in Hawaii for prevention, early detection, treatment, and quality of life.Goal 6: Data/Surveillance - Improve and maintain a high quality surveillance systemon all aspects of cancer to ensure informed decision-making.Goal 7: Uniform Access - Achieve uniform access to cancer services on each islandand within each population group.Goal 8: Cost/Insurance - Address cost and payment coverage issues for cancer-relatedservices. Subsequently, 99 strategies were identified to address the eight goalareas and became the cornerstone for the statewide cancer planing during thesecond year.In year two, the Coalition prioritized the 99 strategies of the strategic plan to create the"Take Action!" section of the cancer plan. This section includes 22 of the strategies foraddressing cancer priorities in Hawaii over the next 5 years.Eight of the 22 strategies have been selected for implementation throughout 2004 2005. Combined, the “No More Cancer” Strategic Plan and the “Take Action!” sectionsmake up the Hawaii Cancer Plan in its entirety. The eight strategies consist of:8 Take Action Strategies, 2004 - 2005Prevention Goal: Prevent Cancer from occurring, especially through education and behavior change strategies.1. Establish mandatory physical education policies in all schools in Hawaii.2.Adopt, adapt, and implement proven behavior change interventions targetingincreased consumption of fruits and vegetables.3. Engage in efforts to create norms that positively support smoke-free behavior.4. Implement "Healthy Foods" policies in schools.Early Detection Goal: Detect cancer at its earliest stages and assure coordination with cancer management services.5. Conduct patient and public education about the importance of cancerscreening with the emphasis that screening saves lives.6. Develop and conduct health care provider trainings on screening guidelinesand the need to talk with patients about the guidelines.Data/Surveillance Goal: Improve and maintain a high quality surveillance system on all aspects of cancer to assure informed decision-making.7. Develop a process to share and disseminate information regarding uses of thehealth data.To assess the cancer problem in Hawaii, our state needs to beginwith the best available data.Five major sources of data are:Death certificates;Hospital dischargesummaries;Hospital and physicianoffice pathology reports;Hawaii Tumor Registry(SEER) data;Behavioral Risk FactorSuveillance System (BRFSS) PHOTO BY: SRI MAIAVA, COURTESY OF HAWAII VISITORS BUREAUSTRATEGICPLANTOADV ANCECANCERCONTROL9

Cost/Insurance Goal: Address cost and payment coverage issues for cancerrelated services.8. Fund a study that is specific to Hawaii to answer the following questions:What is the average cost of providers to deliver treatment? (chemotherapy,radiation, doctors, hospital stay, etc.).What do health plans reimburse for and how does it differ by health careplan?What is/is not covered by insurance plans?What is the cost of non-reimbursable services such as seeing social workers,obtaining psychological services, or participating in patient navigation programs, etc.?What are the differences between hospital based service reimbursement andmedical office service reimbursement–and why?What are the differences between reimbursement and the actual cost ofservices?What is the funding pool? And how should it be prioritized?What is the list of all the services that comprise cancer diagnosis andtreatment?What funding is available for the uninsured and underinsured? Is part of thecost transferred to the insured?What barriers limit access to care due to insurance coverage limitations?Are there other medical economic models?Identify where money can come from to fund prevention and education.(Recommendation 8.2b)Determine the most efficient allocation of resources, e.g., funding the‘front-end’ – by spending the same overall amount of money, but putting themoney into prevention instead. (Recommendation 8.3a) Early Hawaiiansused the wood tocarve sacred templeartifacts. This Plan is only the beginning. As science and practical experience grow, new challenges, new tools and new strategies will emerge. The intent of this plan is to provide aroadmap for organizations, communities, and individuals to create, implement, and sustain activities to reduce the cancer burden throughout Hawaii. To track progress of theplan,Action Teams will provide regular status updates and the cancer plan will be revisited and updated as state priorities change. Hawaii’s Cancer Plan will involve many sectors of our society including community-based organizations, medical insurance companies, social groups, and the fields of social work, nursing, medicine, nutrition, and education, local public health agencies and state and local government in addition to manyindividuals across our unique state.The Coalition envisions a Hawaii with "No More Cancer" and this plan is the first steptoward that vision!10HA W AIICOMPREHENSIVECANCERCONTROL
