About us
As NCI’s bridge to public health research, practice, and policy, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) plays a unique role in reducing the burden of cancer in America. DCCPS has the lead responsibility at NCI for supporting research in surveillance, epidemiology, health services, behavioral science, and cancer survivorship. The division also plays a central role within the federal government as a source of expertise and evidence on issues such as the quality of cancer care, the economic burden of cancer, geographic information systems, statistical methods, communication science, comparative effectiveness research, obesity, tobacco control, and the translation of research into practice.

📢 NEW PUBLICATION ALERT📢: A new article from the Office of Cancer Survivorship published in Cancer, one of the international interdisciplinary American Cancer Society Journals, provides updated definitions for these key terms: ✔️ Cancer survivor ✔️ Cancer survivorship ✔️ Cancer survivorship care ✔️ Cancer survivorship research These definitions were developed through a consensus process that included a comprehensive review of the literature and meetings with survivor advocates and subject matter experts. With over 18 million cancer survivors in the United States, consistent and up-to-date definitions are critical for advancing survivorship care. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gt5MDUbe
