Comprehensive Cancer Control Promotional Toolkit
The Toolkit is designed to provide coalitions, program directors, and CCC partners with a set of materials to promote comprehensive cancer control.

Model Framework for Comprehensive Cancer Control (PDF-269KB)
In 1998, CDC developed a model framework for comprehensive cancer control. To test it, extensive technical support was provided to state health departments in Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, and Utah from January 1999 through December 2000. None of these states received direct financial support from CDC.

Guidance for Comprehensive Cancer Control Planning
Volume 1: Guidelines (PDF-1MB) presents guidelines for developing a comprehensive cancer control plan that can be both implemented and evaluated. Volume 2: Toolkit (PDF-1.3MB) is a collection of sample tools designed for use in combination with the Guidelines to assist professionals from a variety of settings as they undertake comprehensive cancer control activities.

Essential Elements for Developing/Expanding Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs: Design Options for State Health Agencies (PDF-559KB)
This report presents the results of a project designed to provide information CDC can use to prepare guidance for State Health Agencies (SHAs) developing comprehensive plans for cancer prevention and control. Also see the tables (PDF-24KB) and appendices (PDF-790KB).

The Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide)*
The Community Guide is a public health resource that summarizes interventions to promote community health and prevent disease, tells what works, how well, for whom, where, and (where possible) at what cost. In addition, the Community Guide topics reflect the Healthy People 2010 objectives of tackling risk behaviors related to the largest burden of disease and providing guidance on ways to reduce disease, injury, and impairment. Selected systematic reviews include—

• Cancer Prevention and Control*
• Physical Activity*
• Tobacco*

CancerPlan.org*
CancerPlan.org is an interactive Web site that provides CCC resources, tools, and program practices. The purpose of CancerPlan.org is to help cancer planners for states, tribes, territories, and communities develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive cancer efforts.

Among its features, CancerPlan.org offers an interactive map allowing access to CCC state, territorial, and tribal plans and resources. It also offers a messsage board for registered users to share valuable CCC information. Future enhancements include a CCC Workbook, offering CCC state, territories, tribes, and communities a platform to work on their comprehensive cancer activities.

CancerPlan.org is the product of a collaboration among the American Cancer Society (ACS), CDC, and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T.
Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T. is designed to help health educators, program staff, researchers, and cancer control planners bridge the research discovery to program delivery gap and increase the adoption of evidence-based approaches across the cancer control continuum. It includes resources on tobacco control; physical activity; sun safety; breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening; informed decision making regarding prostate cancer screening; nutrition; and survivorship.

Cancer Control P.L.A.N.E.T. is a collaborative effort of NCI, CDC, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, ACS, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Commission on Cancer.

State Cancer Profiles
CDC and the National Cancer Institute developed the State Cancer Profiles Web site to provide cancer control planners and policy makers with a system to characterize the cancer burden in a standardized manner. It includes data collected from public health surveillance systems such as—

• NCI's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program
• CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries, National Vital Statistics System, and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
• Mortality data from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics

Note: The cancer incidence data provided in State Cancer Profiles are identical to those published in the United States Cancer Statistics report, plus additional data calculations authorized by selected states.
