The Collective Action Roadmap for GI Cancers is a framework that aims to provide practical guidance and best practices for improving GI cancer care. The roadmap was created by Patient Advocacy Groups focused on GI cancers and leads with the patient perspective on the key challenges and solutions throughout the patient journey – including Awareness, Testing & Diagnosis, Treatment and Wellbeing. Additionally, the roadmap outlines the specific stakeholders that have a critical role to play in addressing these challenges and; therefore, are important to engage and collaborate with to drive progress and improve GI cancer care as a collective.

Overview
Inside the Report
Letter from Martha Raymond
Supporting individuals with GI cancer requires an inclusive and coordinated approach to ensure access to the best care and the best outcomes.
The Challenge
Cancer remains the second-leading cause of death in the U.S, with approximately two million new diagnoses and more than 618,000 deaths expected in 2025 alone.
The Collective Action Roadmap for GI Cancers
This roadmap is intended to be used by all stakeholders across the GI cancers community to support all patients – regardless of their GI cancer or tumor diagnosis – through every stage of their care journey.
Improving Outcomes Across the Patient Journey
Insights and input from the GI Patient Advocacy Group community and provide additional detail on the priority activities and solutions throughout the patient journey.
The Path Forward
Our hope is that this roadmap serves not only as a guide, but as an invitation – to foster meaningful collaboration, champion equity at every step and help shape a system of care that is responsive to those it serves.
