  3. The divisions of the UK Markey Cancer Control Program have distinct but complementary strengths and missions. Together, they form a multi-faceted and comprehensive cancer control program.

  4. The UK Markey Cancer Control Program divisions integrate • Data (Kentucky Cancer Registry) • Information (Cancer Information Service) • Outreach (Kentucky Cancer Program) • Research (all divisions)

  5. More than 20,000 new cancer cases and 9,500 cancer deaths are reported annually in Kentucky • Nationally, Kentucky ranks • No. 4 in death rates from all cancers • No. 1 in lung cancer death rates • No. 3 in cervical cancer death rates • No. 8 in colorectal cancer death rates

  6. Most common cancers in Kentucky • Lung • Breast • Prostate • Colon/rectum • Melanoma

  7. The UK Markey Cancer Control Program • Monitors all cancers diagnosed and treated in Kentucky • Provides this data to communities and helps local groups identify cancer problems and find solutions • Brings together researchers to develop new cancer control approaches • Operates two nationally funded research centers that focus on rural populations, including Appalachia • Works with a wide variety of partners across the state

  8. Current research grants and contracts • Cancer Information Service contract from NCI • Prevention Research Center grant from CDC • Kentucky Cancer Registry grant from CDC • Appalachia Cancer Network grant from NCI • Colorectal Cancer High Rate/Low Rate Study grant: from CDC • Project to Overcome the Digital Divide grant from NCI • Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program contract from NCI

  9. Research grants and contracts pending or under development • Proposal to become an NCI Center of Excellence in Cancer Communication (under development) • Four RO1 proposals in cancer communication (under development) • NCI/NIDR oral cancer epidemiology grant (under development) • RO1 proposal to NCI on Changing the Patterns of Care for Stage III Colon Cancer (pending)

  10. The Kentucky Cancer Registry

  11. Kentucky Cancer Registry • Kentucky’s population-based central cancer registry • Funded by the Kentucky Legislature and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention • Gold-certified as one of the premiere cancer registries in North America • Part of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program

  12. Kentucky Cancer Registry • KCR data • Shows age-adjusted cancer incidence rates by county and Area Development District (ADD) • Includes demographic information (age, sex, race, etc.) and cancer-specific information (type, stage, treatment, etc.) • Is managed by a state-of-the-art electronic data system

  13. Kentucky Cancer Registry • Shows how age-adjusted cancer incidence rates in Kentucky are different from those reported by NCI’s SEER Program • Shows how age-adjusted cancer incidence rates in Kentucky have been increasing each year since 1995 while the SEER age-adjusted rates have been decreasing

  14. Kentucky Cancer Registry • Annual Report of Cancer Incidence in Kentucky • Presented to legislators and all district cancer councils each year • Resource for cancer control planners, public health officials, hospitals, researchers, educators, policy-makers and journalists • Available on KCR Web site at http://www.kcr.uky.edu

  15. Cancer Information Service of the Mid-South 1-800-4-CANCER

  16. Cancer Information of the Mid-South • The CIS of the Mid-South serves • Kentucky • Arkansas • Tennessee • Alabama • Mississippi • Louisiana 1-800-4-CANCER

  17. Cancer Information of the Mid-South • Part of the National Cancer Institute • One of 14 regional CIS offices • Delivers the latest, most accurate cancer information to patients, their families, the public, and health professionals • Serves the public through • Toll-free Information Service (1-800-4-CANCER • Partnership Program • Research 1-800-4-CANCER

  18. Cancer Information of the Mid-South • Information Service • Specially trained staff explain scientific information to callers in easy-to-understand terms • Responds to almost 14,000 calls to 1-800-4-CANCER each year • Tailored and personal attention to each caller • All calls confidential 1-800-4-CANCER

  19. Cancer Information of the Mid-South Partnership Program works with trusted state and regional organizations to reach minority and medically underserved audiences. CIS helps partners • develop programs • obtain NCI materials • build coalitions • conduct training • network with one another 1-800-4-CANCER

  20. Cancer Information of the Mid-South • CIS role in research • Educates callers about clinical trials through Information Service • Conducts trainings about clinical trials for health professionals and the public through Partnership Program • Participates in research on how to promote healthy behaviors and communicate health information effectively 1-800-4-CANCER
