The Kentucky Cancer Consortium is a statewide comprehensive cancer control coalition of more than two dozen organizations committed to reducing the significant cancer burden in our state. Cancer is too big and complex a problem for any one group to address efficiently. Comprehensive Cancer Control offers the power of collaboration as a key approach in reducing cancer.

The Consortium is charged with implementing Kentucky's Cancer Action Plan, which outlines goals and strategies for cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and quality of life. Activities are carried out at the local level, while state-level Coalition members help communities follow the Plan, engage others in their efforts, and build local capacity.Explore this site to learn more about the cancer control effort currently underway in Kentucky and how YOU can be a part of it!
