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.


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


Benefits of Collaboration


National Partners

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

American Cancer Society

C-Change

American College of Surgeons,Commission on Cancer


National Partners

National Cancer Institute

Intercultural Cancer Council

Lance Armstrong Foundation

National Association of County and City Health Officials

National Association of Chronic Disease Directors


National Partners’ Role

• Support CCC by– Providing a national framework – Contributing and developing resources– Identifying the need for additional resources– Studying process and outcomes – Hosting leadership development and training

workshops

• National-level collaboration on– Comprehensive Cancer Control Leadership

Institutes – Planning Assistance Team Visits – Leadership Support Teams– Cancer Control PLANET (http://cancercontrolplanet

.cancer.gov)– CancerPlan.org (www.cancerplan.org)


National Partners’ Role

http://cancercontrolplanet.cancer.gov/





National Partners’ Role• At the state and community levels,

National Partners

– Provide technical assistance to CCC programs and coalitions

– Conduct trainings on the critical skills and knowledge needed to create and implement plans

– Advocate for CCC efforts

– Supply resources to support implementation of specific cancer plan strategies

– Offer expertise and leadership to accomplish shared goals


CDC’s Role

• Provide initial funds for CCC programs nationwide

• Advise and support CCC programs– Planning

– Putting plans into action • Support evaluation of national CCC outcomes


CDC’s National Program

• Funds states, tribes, and territories to

– Establish CCC coalitions

– Assess the burden of cancer

– Determine priorities

– Develop and implement CCC plans


CCC Programs’ Role• Assess the cancer burden• Identify stakeholders and build a coalition• Develop a framework and vision• Create a plan• Set priorities and gather resources• Define steps for putting the plan into action• Put the plan into action• Evaluate activities


Scope of CDC’s National Program

• As of July 2005

– 63 CCC programs exist

– 44 CCC plans completed and being put into action

– 50-600 members in each coalition


Results• Reduce risk• Detect cancers earlier• Improve treatment• Enhance survivorship• Decrease health disparities

Risk Reduction


Risk Reduction• Reduce cancer risk by encouraging people to

– Avoid tobacco use– Eat a healthy, balanced diet– Maintain a healthy weight– Exercise regularly– Limit alcohol consumption– Protect themselves from environmental risks

(i.e., sun exposure)


Risk Reduction Program Example• California

– The Skin Cancer Prevention Program is working to help businesses, organizations, and individuals understand why and how to protect themselves from the sun


Early Detection

• Detect cancers earlier by – Promoting recommended cancer screening

guidelines and tests

– Educating people about possible cancer signs and symptoms


Early Detection


Early Detection Program Example• Ohio

– Colorectal cancer task force provides screening and follow-up services to rural populations.


Better Treatment

• Improve treatment by– Increasing access to quality cancer care– Increasing participation in clinical trials


Better Treatment


Better Treatment Program Example

• Delaware – New cancer program provides

treatment for qualified individuals who can't afford it


Enhanced Survivorship

• Enhance quality of life for cancer survivors– Physical– Psychological– Practical (i.e., financial and legal issues,

health insurance, long-term planning)

• Study interventions that promote healthand well-being– Exercise– Pain management– Coping


Enhanced Survivorship


Survivorship Program Example• Pennsylvania

– Assessing the unmet psychosocial needs of cancer patients and their caregivers, across all stages of cancer and all care settings


Health Disparities

• Decrease health disparities by closing gaps in screening use for– Individuals with no usual source of care– Uninsured people– Recent immigrants – Racial and ethnic minorities– People with limited income– Rural Populations


Health Disparities Example

• Florida– Disparities program

successfully reaches older, minority adults with education and screening services

“Comprehensive Cancer Control means collaborating to conquer cancer. Federal, state, county, and local communities are coming together—unified by a plan, resolved to act—to ease the burden of cancer, now.”

COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL: National Voicesof Support

“NCI’s Challenge Goal to the nation is to eliminate the suffering and death due to cancer. To achieve this will require the commitment and collaboration of all members of the cancer community—researchers, advocates, public health experts, healthcare providers, and survivors. Together we are a force that combines the best of science, medicine, and health care. Through efforts such as Comprehensive Cancer Control, we will provide the means to prevent, control, and eliminate cancer.”

John Niederhuber, MDDeputy DirectorNational Cancer Institute


“Public policy and advocacy are as important to controlling cancer as are scientific advances. Research, advocacy, education, and service delivery are all needed to get us to our ultimate goal of a cancer-free world. This is Comprehensive Cancer Control. We’re reaching across disciplines, uniting to conquer cancer.”

John Seffrin, PhD

Chief Executive Officer

American Cancer Society


“To enhance the quality of life of people affected by cancer, a collaborative, comprehensive approach to addressing the cancer continuum is imperative. Together, we can positively impact the physical, emotional and practical challenges of cancer survivorship.”
