| Welcome to the Kentucky Cancer Consortium Web Site! |
The Kentucky Cancer Consortium (KCC) is a statewide comprehensive cancer control coalition of more than two dozen 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 implementing 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. Explore this site to learn more about the cancer control effort currently underway in Kentucky and how YOU can be a part of it. |
