A recent project to deFine public health priorities For end oF liFe (EOL) recommends incorporating EOL principles in all state/territory/tribe Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC) Plans. The degree to which EOL content is currently included in CCC Plans was assessed through a systematic review oF CCC Plans, examining keywords, deFinitions, topics, data, goals, and strategies. Forty-Five plans (42 state, 3 tribal) were eligible. Forty-one CCC Plans (91%) included the keyword "end-oF-liFe." EOL goals were most oFten categorized as use oF care, access to care, and awareness oF EOL issues among patients/public and providers. The top EOL strategies were research, provider education, and patient/public education. The results establish a baseline oF EOL content in CCC Plans and should help improve assistance in Future CCC planning eFForts.
Key Words: end-oF-liFe • death • cancer • cancer plan • comprehensive cancer control • comprehensive cancer control plan • state planning
