Helping employees navigate a cancer diagnosis and treatment plan is far from simple. With more of the workforce getting diagnosed with cancer, employers are facing greater cancer costs than ever before. And given that cancer prevalence, cost and complexity, especially in younger adults, has risen significantly in recent years,1 the time is now to give this attention.
There is some good news: The 5-year survival rate for all cancers combined has increased substantially, and the death rate has steadily dropped.2

Cancer rates are increasing in adults under 50.3

Over the past decade, the cancer death rate dropped by 1.6% per year.4
We know protecting and providing the best care for your workforce is top of mind, and that it pays to make sure you’re getting the best return from your health care investment. WIth access to our tools and resources, you can offer more support to your people. Because when it comes to cancer, one less thing means everything.
With integrated, innovative and intuitive cancer care, more is possible.
Early Identification
Finding risk factors or first signs of
cancer through tests and/or data.
Management
Individualized health care aimed at optimizing the cancer journey.
Treatment
Procedures and approaches to cure or stop the progression of cancer.
Early Identification
1/2
About half of cancer cases are at an advanced stage when diagnosed.5
Cancer screening tests can prevent thousands of deaths, and treatment is more effective at earlier stages.6 Make sure your employees are receiving preventive care reminders to get ahead of possible health challenges and get their recommended cancer screenings on time.
30-50%
Up to half of cancers diagnosed today could be prevented.7
Early identification can prevent a cancer diagnosis by pinpointing risk factors and the opportunity to adopt healthy habits in your workforce, minimizing work — and life — disruption.
Remind employees to use their preventive care services, and be sure they’re signed up to receive reminders. Reach out to your health care representative to learn more.
Management
89.5%
Improved cancer management and outcomes.
Our Cancer Services and Support program strives for positive outcomes for our members as they navigate their cancer journey with resources and industry experts — including coordinated physical and behavioral health support — by their side.

Cost avoidance per case identified.
After a cancer diagnosis, our program works behind the scenes to meet employees where they’re at, with exactly what they need. When cancer care management is given the true attention to detail it requires, those savings — in both money and time — are passed directly to your employees.
Engage with employees to get a sense of how much of their cancer care resources they’re using. These benefits can lead to better health outcomes.
Treatment
23-57%
Between 23-57% of patients had better health outcomes with a second opinion.8
Receiving a second opinion from a high-quality provider can be crucial to determining the right cancer diagnosis and treatment. But knowing how to coordinate that, especially in a complex situation, can be overwhelming. With innovative treatment options, things like second opinions can be handled automatically.
Geographic disparities can be large, with mortality rates varying greatly depending on location.9
No cancer care approach is complete without addressing disparities, which can be staggering. Just geographical location alone can influence the likelihood of surviving a cancer diagnosis. Getting employees the cancer care they need means ensuring that’s the case no matter where they’re located.
Reach out to your health care plan representative to learn how cancer treatment is handled on their end. Then, ensure those answers make their way to employees.
We’re here for you, so you can be there for them.
When employees are facing a cancer diagnosis, they need the best support you can offer. That’s what we’re here to help you provide. Read our most recent white paper to learn more about our integrated, innovative and intuitive approach to cancer care.
