Health Update: Cancer in Idaho | Idaho Department of Health and Welfare – What Experts Say

Funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Comprehensive Cancer Control is a national initiative through which communities and partner organizations pool resources to reduce the burden of cancer. Together, we:

• Reduce cancer risk
• Find cancers earlier
• Improve treatments
• Increase the number of people who survive cancer
• Improve quality of life for cancer survivors

Since 2005, the Comprehensive Cancer Control Program has worked to address cancer through prevention, early detection and supporting survivors. Our work focuses on the prevention and early detection of breast, lung, colorectal, cervical, and skin cancers. The Comprehensive Cancer Control Program supports activities in local communities through a partnership with the public health districts, health systems, and other community partners.
