## TL;DR

The federally funded organisation that has coordinated Canada's national cancer strategy since 2007, in a country where the provinces run health care; its current priorities include lung cancer screening and eliminating cervical cancer.

## Summary

The Partnership describes itself as funded by the federal government to accelerate pan-Canadian action on cancer under the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control, a 10-year action plan with eight priorities, and as having served as a catalyst for cancer care since 2007; it works with cancer, health system and First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners and with all levels of government. Its strategy pages describe organised lung cancer screening, with Ontario running a programme at four sites, British Columbia a province-wide programme at 36 sites and Quebec a pilot (the page is undated), and a plan to eliminate cervical cancer through HPV vaccination, a switch from the Pap test to HPV primary screening with self-sampling, and better follow-up; it gives about 1,300 cervical cancer diagnoses and more than 400 deaths a year in Canada. It also reports that First Nations adults are 35 per cent less likely than non-Indigenous adults to survive lung cancer five years after diagnosis. Its office is at 154 University Avenue in Toronto.
