Comprehensive
Cancer Control
In Action
1
What to expect today?
• Provide state-level forum for networking &
sharing your org’s current survivorship
initiatives
• Identify/ Discuss gaps in addressing issues
surrounding survivorship in KY
• Discuss potential to collaborate on
addressing gap(s)
• Review current Cancer Action Plan ‘Quality
of Life’ section and plans for revision
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.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
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.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
Benefits of Collaboration
•
•
•
•
A united front is more powerful.
Working together is more efficient.
Collective action creates new allies.
Coalitions can tackle cross-cutting
issues.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
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.
Where does the Kentucky Cancer
Consortium fit into national
cancer prevention efforts?
• The Kentucky Cancer Consortium is
Kentucky’s comprehensive cancer control
coalition funded by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
• We are one of the 64 state, tribe and
territorial programs participating in the
National Comprehensive Cancer Control
Program.
What does KCC “do”?
• KCC focuses on issues related to cancer that are
shared by multiple regions and/or the entire state.
• Utilize cancer control data and KCC “best process”
to:
– Identify and prioritize statewide needs for cancer
prevention and control.
– Identify evidence-based interventions and resources to
meet those needs.
• Provide neutral forum for cancer control partners to
network, coordinate and collaborate.
What does KCC “do”?
• Communicate identified needs, interventions and
resources across groups and regions acting as a
neutral clearinghouse of information.
• Increase efficiency and reduce duplication of
effort by coordinating activities with major partners
in cancer prevention and control.
• Seek financial and in-kind resources to fund
Cancer Action Plan priority areas.
What does KCC “do”?
• Maintain and update the Kentucky Cancer
Action Plan priority goals, objectives and
strategies to address cancer prevention and
control gaps.
• Conduct systematic evaluation of the cancer
control prioritization and implementation
process.
• Support efforts to reduce the burden of cancer
inequities faced by underserved populations.
• Participate in influencing policy development
and educating policy makers.
What is the Cancer
Action Plan?
• The Cancer Action Plan for Kentucky
(CAP) is a practical, working document
addressing four main areas along the
cancer continuum:
– Prevention, Early Detection, Treatment and
Care, and Quality of Life.
• Each section contains:
– Goals
– Objectives towards reaching those goals
– suggested Strategies to implement
objectives
Who does comp cancer
control on the local and
regional level?
• The Kentucky Cancer Program’s
District Cancer Councils are the
comprehensive cancer control entities
at the local and regional level.
• The Kentucky Cancer Program is state
funded, and has 15 District Cancer
Councils throughout the state.
COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
Results
•
•
•
•
•
Reduce risk.
Detect cancers earlier.
Improve treatment.
Enhance survivorship.
Decrease health disparities.

COMPREHENSIVE CANCER CONTROL:
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 health
and well-being:
– Exercise.
– Pain management.
– Coping.
What is Already
Happening?
• What is your organization doing to
enhance cancer survivorship in
Kentucky?
What Still Needs to Be
Done?
• What gaps still exist in survivorship
care in Kentucky?
•What next?
…Is there potential for collaboration?
