CDC Session

A Town Hall Discussion on Cancer Prevention Initiatives in the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program

Session Moderator: Nikki Hayes, MPH, CDC

Comprehensive cancer control is a philosophical approach that brings together stakeholders to address a community’s cancer burden in a collective, impactful way that no stakeholder could accomplish alone. CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) was created in 1998 to support the strategic and collaborative coordination of cancer prevention and control efforts in states and tribal or territorial jurisdictions. This session will highlight selected efforts to prevent cancer through NCCCP initiatives and activities, including Hepatitis B vaccination uptake, Hepatitis C screening, HPV vaccination coverage, colorectal cancer screening, and support of cancer coalitions.
