Comprehensive Cancer Control (CCC)—a collaborative process through which a community and its partners pool resources to promote cancer prevention, improve cancer detection, increase access to health and social services, and reduce the burden of cancer. These efforts will contribute to reducing cancer risk, detecting cancers earlier, improving treatments, and enhancing survivorship and quality of life for cancer patients .
The Hawaii Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (HCCCP) was funded through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2001. The HCCCP is operated by the Hawaii State Department of Health, and uses an “integrated and coordinated approach to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality through prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliation”. The mission of HCCCP is to bring people together to coordinate cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, support, and research efforts to improve the quality of life for residents of Hawaii. The Program’s vision is “No More Cancer” in our state. HCCCP hopes to make this vision a reality through the Hawaii Cancer Plan.
- An intense, multifaceted statewide coalition has united over 100 health organizations and individuals dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer on the citizens of Hawaii.
- Together, their discussions, deliberations, and decisions have identified goals and strategic directions for action to eliminate this burden and realize the vision, our vision, for the State of Hawaii…..NO MORE CANCER
