Since 2003, the South Carolina Cancer Alliance (Alliance) has been dedicated to the prevention and early detection of cancer as well as improving the treatment of those affected by this disease. The Alliance consists of over 800 members who represent the state’s medical community, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and various community groups. Every five years, our members work together to develop the five-year South Carolina Cancer Plan. This plan serves as the official road map in the fight against cancer in our state. To view the plan, visit sccancer.org The members of the Alliance are divided into workgroups. These workgroups are responsible for developing, implementing and evaluating specific projects contained in the cancer plan. Currently the Alliance is made up of 6 workgroups that address breast, cervical, colon, prostate, and lung cancer, policy and advocacy, and health disparities. The Alliance then provides annual funding opportunities to the workgroups to implement their section of the state cancer plan
