South Dakota Cancer Prevention and Control Programs - In 2020, cancer was the second leading cause of death in South Dakota (SD). Annually, there were 4,747 newly diagnosed cancer cases in SD (SD Cancer Registry, 2019). The South Dakota Department of Health (SD DOH) is applying for funding for three program areas for CDC-RFA-DP22-2202, Cancer Prevention and Control Programs for State, Territorial, and Tribal Organizations. The purpose of Program 1: South Dakota Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program aims to provide breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic services, and treatment referrals to women with lower incomes and who are uninsured or underinsured. The SD BCCEDP will implement the strategies and activities outlined to reach women statewide aged 30-64 living at or below 250% FPL. Consistently working toward achieving health equity, specific interventions will focus on rural and frontier, American Indian, uninsured/underinsured, and women living in counties disproportionately burdened by breast or cervical cancer. The program commits to collaborating with the SD Comprehensive Cancer Control Program and SD Cancer Registry, along with other funded and non-funded partners throughout the state, to leverage resources, coordinate efforts, and ensure consistent communication and community involvement. For Program 2, the South Dakota Comprehensive Cancer Control Program will collaborate with the SD Cancer Coalition (Coalition), breast and cervical cancer screening program (SD BCCEDP), cancer registry program (SD CR), colorectal cancer program (SD CRCCP), chronic disease programs, tribal partners, and cancer/other relevant organizations to implement strategies and activities to support achievement of the long-term outcomes of reduced cancer risk, reduced cancer disparities, decreased mortality, morbidity, and incidence of cancer and, increased quality of life among cancer survivors in South Dakota. The purpose of Program 3: South Dakota Cancer Registry (SDCR) is the collection and dissemination of high-quality surveillance data for all reportable cancer cases in a timely manner for public health cancer prevention and control. The programs are committed to ensuring collaboration among the three program areas.
