National Cancer Control Month: Promoting and Using What Works to Reduce Cancer
 National Cancer Control Month is here! This observance helps increase awareness about the impact of cancer across the nation, and serves as a reminder for people to take action to reduce their risk, and join the mission to prevent and control cancer in all communities. Cancer control focuses on reducing the number of new cancer cases and deaths, and improving the quality of life for cancer survivors. At CDC, this means promoting the use of evidence-based strategies for prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Comprehensive cancer control looks at the cancer risk for people, and makes sure that communities with poor cancer health outcomes have the best opportunities for improving health. CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) brings together state, tribal, territorial, and local health departments to develop, put into action, and promote effective ways to prevent and control cancer in communities.
