National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program. Collaborating to Conquer Cancer. Stories from the field.



April is National Cancer Control Month, and this raises awareness of efforts to reduce the number of cancer cases and deaths and improve the health of cancer survivors. CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP), works with agencies and partners to put proven strategies in action to prevent and control cancer. Strategies include educating people about vaccines, healthy choices, and screenings that can prevent or find cancer early, and help cancer survivors lower their risk of getting cancer again. Thanks to cancer registries, including ones funded by the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), we know where to focus these strategies.



Cancer registry data improve understanding of what groups are affected by cancer and helps focus resources in places that need it the most. A new blog post shares how NPCR is using cloud-based data capture to get cancer data faster in order to quickly connect people to the care and support they may need.
