In cancer research, exciting developments continually bring to light important emerging issues throughout the cancer continuum. The emerging issues work group provides information about new scientific developments in research that can improve New Hampshire residents’ quality of life. Although the NH CCC and the work group recognize that almost any cancer issue could be considered emerging based on the rapid expansion of new information in journals and in the media, we focus on those topics that lack public clarity, professional consensus, funding, and supporting laws or guidance, and that have the potential to significantly affect cancer prevention and control in New Hampshire, based on the characteristics of the Granite State’s population.

Four objectives have been identified to guide emerging issues activities. Preliminary strategies for these objectives have also been identified, and will be clarified and expanded by the workgroup as it begins the implementation process.
