In the video "American Cancer Society Uses 'Ground Shots' to Impact Lives and Affect the Approach to Care," Dr. Karen E. Knudsen, MBA, PhD, discusses the ACS's 'Cancer Groundshot' initiative, which emphasizes prioritizing strategies in global cancer control to maximize impact.

Three Key Takeaways:

• Prioritizing Proven Interventions: The ACS focuses on implementing evidence-based cancer prevention and treatment strategies that can be broadly applied to achieve significant health improvements.​

• Enhancing Access to Care: Efforts are directed toward reducing disparities by ensuring underserved communities have access to essential cancer screening and treatment services.​

• Collaborative Efforts: The ACS collaborates with various stakeholders to address systemic barriers and promote equitable cancer care.​

This approach aims to optimize resource utilization and improve outcomes in cancer control.​
