Cancer Prevention and Control

Cancer Prevention and Control

The goal of the Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) program is to reduce the burden of cancer incidence and mortality and improve the lives of cancer patients, with emphasis on cancers relevant to the TCI catchment area. CPC members work collaboratively to evaluate and mitigate cancer risk factors with special attention to those most prevalent in the TCI catchment area, to develop effective early detection and screening strategies for groups at higher risk while addressing health disparities, and to improve the quality of care and quality of life of people affected by cancer through health care delivery. Projects within CPC are developed across the entire cancer continuum from cancer risk factors to screening, diagnosis, and treatment to survivorship and end-of-life issues.

Specific Aims

  • Evaluate and mitigate cancer risk factors, with special attention to underlying disparities in risk
  • Develop effective early detection and screening strategies for groups at higher risk while addressing cancer disparities
  • Improve the quality of care and quality of life of people affected by cancer through health care delivery
