COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
How It Began
A decade ago, state and national organizations began linking cancer prevention and control programs to fight cancer more effectively.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
Definition
Comprehensive Cancer Control is a collaborative process through which a community pools resources to reduce the burden of cancer that results in:
• Risk reduction.• Early detection.• Better treatment.• Enhanced survivorship.
• A united front is more powerful.• Working together is more efficient.• Collective action creates new allies.• Coalitions can tackle cross-cutting
issues.
