Cancer Risk Factors, Prevention and Surveillance Research Program

The Cancer Risk Factors, Prevention and Surveillance (Cancer Prevention, Control and Population Sciences) Research Program’s purpose is to collaboratively partner with our community to conduct comprehensive population-based research that spans the cancer continuum from prevention to survivorship. The research program’s foci include cancer biomarkers, screening, environmental exposure, and cancer risk factors.

Program Aims

  • To investigate the unique molecular, behavioral, and environmental drivers of cancer risk and disparities in the UCCC catchment area.
  • To reduce cancer disparities through the design, testing, and implementation of novel screening and prevention interventions.
  • To reduce the burden of cancer treatment and eliminate outcome disparities for patients and survivors in our catchment area.
