Why Comprehensive Cancer Control?
The significant growth of cancer prevention and control programs within
health agencies has resulted in recognizing that improved coordination of
cancer control activities is essential to maximize resources and achieve
desired cancer control outcomes. Comprehensive cancer control
(CCC) results in many benefits including increased efficiency for delivering
public health messages and services to the public.

Action Opportunities for Comprehensive Cancer Control
CDC's National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) is a national resource for
supporting CCC efforts. Since 1998, the number of programs participating in CDCs NCCCP has
grown from 6 to 61. With this support, state and tribal health agencies continue to establish
broad-based CCC coalitions, assess the burden of cancer, determine priorities for cancer
prevention and control, and develop and implement CCC plans.
Cancer plans are the stepping stones for advancing CCC programsto put the program into
action. Each state or tribal health agency develops an individual cancer plan to address
its unique cancer burden. As states or tribal health agencies implement cancer plans,
they integrate expertise and efforts from many disciplines: basic and applied research,
evaluation, health education, program development, public policy, surveillance, clinical
services, and health communications. Please visit
CCC Funded Implementation Programs for examples of cancer plans.
