2024 National Cancer Survivor Month Resources
June is recognized as National Cancer Survivors Month, an opportunity to celebrate the more than 18 million cancer survivors across the U.S. -- including more than 142,000 in Nevada. Here are some resources to assist you in sharing information about cancer survivorship in Nevada.
Survivors Keynote Cancer Summit with Panel Discussion
We all likely know at least one cancer survivor; many of us work with survivors daily, and some of us are survivors. For those who don't fall into that last category, do you really know how survivors reflect on their experiences inside and outside the clinical walls?
Bringing Sexual Health into the Conversation
NCC offers multiple opportunities to learn about sexual health and intimacy for cancer patients
When Erin Sullivan-Wagner was in treatment for anal cancer, the topic of the treatment’s impact on her sexual health and intimacy was never brought up by her care team, and no referrals for evaluation were made. She survived her cancer, but her sexual health issues were permanent and she says the sexual and intimate relationship with her husband “was forever changed.”
Cancer Plan: Tribal Community Stakeholder Meeting
Join us as we launch our 2026-2030 Nevada Cancer Plan development. At this stakeholder meeting, we'll review Nevada's cancer data, share an analysis of the plan revision survey results, and roll up our sleeves to begin work on the goals for the next five-year cancer plan. Attendees should be prepared to engage in the meeting to share ideas, discuss challenges, and provide perspective.
Cancer Conversations: Partnerships and Cervical Cancer Elimination
During this discussion panel, we will explore lessons learned in the development and implementation of a statewide action plan to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem in Alabama. You will learn motivational strategies to engage partners toward the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem in their respective jurisdictions.
White Ribbon Relay Brings Lung Screening Awareness
Over the past several weeks we’ve been participating in a relay—a White Ribbon Relay, that is. NCC staff and members have been signing and handing off a white ribbon for Lung Cancer Awareness. Why?
Lung cancer remains one of the most pervasive and deadly forms of cancer worldwide, with its devastating impact felt by countless families. In 2021 alone, Nevada saw 1,636 new cases of lung cancer; it is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the state.
