New NCI Web Site Cancer Control PLANET for health educators, practitioners

Format: Web Site
Institute: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Cancer Control PLANET is a new NCI site with data and resources that can help cancer control planners, program staff, and researchers to design, implement, and evaluate evidence-based cancer control programs.

The PLANET portal provides access to Web-based resources that can assist in assessing the cancer and/or risk factor burden within a given state, identifying potential partner organizations that may already be working with high-risk populations, understanding the current research findings and recommendations, accessing and downloading evidence-based programs and products, and finding guidelines for planning and evaluation.
