The Cancer Institute NSW is Australia’s first statewide cancer control agency, established under the Cancer Institute Act, 2003〔() 〕 to lessen the impact of cancer in NSW. The Institute supports and promotes best practice; working to ensure people across the state, no matter where they live, are provided the same high quality treatment and care that is vital to optimising the outcomes and quality of life for people diagnosed with cancer. Driven by the purpose and objectives of the NSW Cancer Plan 2011–15, the Institute continuously works to: * reduce the incidence of cancer in the community * increase the survival rate for cancer patients * improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their carers * provide a source of expertise on cancer control for the government, health service providers, medical researchers and the general community. In order to achieve this, the Institute engages with the community, health professionals, researchers, governments and charity organisations to: * provide information, resources and advice about preventing cancer * promote the importance of early detection through cancer screening programs * provide grants that build research capacity and foster innovation in, and translation of, cancer research * maintain quality information repositories about cancer in NSW to inform future policy and health planning * establish partnerships with cancer healthcare professionals to develop and evaluate programs to improve the quality of cancer treatment and care in NSW. ==Cancer Plans== The Cancer Institute NSW has developed three cancer plans for the state and is currently developing the fourth NSW Cancer Plan, 2016-2020. * NSW Cancer Plan, 2004–2006 * NSW Cancer Plan, 2007–2010 * NSW Cancer Plan, 2011–2015 The current NSW Cancer Plan has three priority areas which are aimed at improving cancer outcomes. This Plan enables the Institute to work collaboratively across the full spectrum of cancer control to end cancers as we know them. The Cancer Institute NSW is working on the fourth cancer plan 2016 to 2020 in consultation with those involved in cancer control to continually: * reduce the incidence of cancer in the community * increase the survival rate for people with cancer * improve the quality of life of people with cancer, and their families and carers * provide a source of expertise on cancer control for the government, health service providers, medical researchers and the general community. Underpinning these priorities, there are a number of cross-cutting goals: * A focus on improving cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people in rural and remote NSW. * A reporting cycle on the performance of cancer services. * Greater system-wide engagement with primary care. * Enhanced research capabilities with an emphasis on clinical trials, translational research and more rapid uptake of new evidence into practice. The Cancer Institute NSW also develops and manages a number of cancer-related information and services for the people of NSW. These include: * The NSW Central Cancer Registry * Canrefer: an online directory for General practitioners, patients and carers to find referral information for specialist multidisciplinary cancer teams in NSW * eviQ: a portal for cancer treatments, providing evidence-based chemotherapy protocols, treatment information and tools at the point of care. * iCanQuit: an online community-based smoking cessation support website * BreastScreen NSW * Cervical Screening NSW 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cancer Institute of New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
