National Cancer Control Month

 

Cancer control focuses on reducing the number of people who get cancer, have complications from it, and die from it. It uses approaches that have been tested through research to control the number of cancer cases as well as the effects of cancer. Cancer control programs work to find and use the most effective ways to:

• Prevent cancer
• Reduce the risk of cancer
• Find cancer earlier
• Improve cancer treatments
• Help more people survive cancer
• Improve the quality of life for people who have cancer
