The cross-disciplinary Cancer Prevention and Control (CPC) Program is the largest program at The University of Arizona Cancer Center and develops and implements highly interactive, multi-disciplinary research to lead to progressive reductions in cancer morbidity and mortality. There is ample evidence that full implementation of existing best practices for cancer prevention and detection could substantially reduce overall United States cancer incidence and mortality. Population-based, basic, translational and clinical research projects in the CPC program are dedicated to improving methods for cancer prevention, detection and control with consequent progressive reductions in cancer rates.
