A cancer control plan for Louisiana has been developed by the Office of Public Health with funding from the National Cancer Institute. Priorities in the plan are the prevention of cancer through tobacco control and improved nutrition and the early detection of cancer through increased access to screening tests. Findings of the task forces and pilot cancer control interventions planned for Louisiana are described.
