Welcome to the Kentucky Cancer Consortium
The Kentucky Cancer Consortium (KCC) is Kentucky's statewide comprehensive cancer control coalition, one of the nation's 64 state, tribal and territorial programs participating in the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program. KCC is comprised of more than 55 Kentucky organizations committed to reducing the significant cancer burden in our state. Cancer is too big and complex a problem for any one group to address efficiently. Comprehensive Cancer Control offers the power of collaboration as a key approach to reducing cancer.
The KCC is charged with maintaining Kentucky's Cancer Action Plan, which outlines goals and strategies for cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and quality of life. KCC efforts are focused on cancer-related issues that are shared by the entire state. Regional comprehensive cancer control efforts are coordinated by the Kentucky Cancer Program.
The Consortium provides a common forum for like-minded organizations to take collective action. Members assess changing cancer control needs, set priorities and share resources and knowledge with one another. Ultimately, Consortium members do more together than they ever could by working on their own.
