The purpose of the OCCN is to continually develop, implement, evaluate and update the cancer prevention and control plan for Oklahoma State Cancer Plan.
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP)
To help coordinate CCC efforts taking place at the national, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels, CDC works with many organizations, including—
- American Cancer Society
- American College of Surgeons, Commission on Cancer
- C-Change
- Intercultural Cancer Council
- Susan G. Komen for the Cure
- Lance Armstrong Foundation
- National Association of Chronic Disease Directors
- National Association of County and City Health Officials
- National Cancer Institute
- North American Association of Central Cancer Registries
Comprehensive cancer control (CCC) is a process through which communities and partner organizations pool resources to reduce the burden of cancer. These combined efforts help to—
- Reduce cancer risk.
- Find cancers sooner.
- Make treatments better.
- Increase the number of people who survive cancer.
CDC started the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) to help states, tribes, and territories form coalitions, also called programs, to fight cancer. These coalitions collect data to determine the greatest cancer-related needs in their area, and develop and carry out CCC plans to meet those needs. The CCC plans include activities that—
- Encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
- Promote cancer screening tests.
- Increase access to good cancer care.
- Improve the quality of life for people who survive cancer.
