CANCER CONTROL SPOTLIGHT
Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs
Have you heard about the relaunch of the National Cancer Institute’s Research-Tested Intervention Programs (RTIPs), now named Evidence-Based Cancer Control Programs (EBCCP)? In 2020, NCI redesigned EBCCP’s website to make it more informative and user-friendly. EBCCP is a searchable database that provides easy and immediate access to: programs tested in a research study; publication(s) of the study findings; program materials used with a particular study population in a specific setting; and new case studies about how the intervention has been used in practice. If you would like to promote the EBCCP website through your own networks, check out the Spark page NCI has created to make sharing easy. Visit the EBCCP site soon!

Searching for a resource to help identify barriers to cancer care in your area? Look no farther than the GW Cancer Center's "Implementing the Commission on Cancer Standard 8.1: Addressing Barriers to Care - A Road Map for Comprehensive Cancer Control Professionals and Cancer Program Administrators!" The road map is designed for use by both comprehensive cancer control (CCC) professionals and cancer program administrators from hospitals, treatment centers and other facilities to fulfill the requirements for this standard. CCC professionals can use this guide to help identify barriers to care and determine potential solutions to reduce cancer disparities; to identify resources available to assist patients in need; and to work with your CCC partners to address identified gaps in resources.
