Watch this video to learn about the NH Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan and why you should be involved in the activities of the New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration.


 

Every day in New Hampshire 19 residents are diagnosed with cancer and 7 die. Hundreds of volunteers at the The New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Collaboration (NH CCC) are working together to help reduce this number.

NH CCC identified 33 objectives to reduce the burden of cancer statewide described in detail in the New Hampshire Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan 2010-2014. Five work groups are responsible for implementing the objectives of the Cancer Plan. Work Groups include Primary Prevention, Prevention and Early Detection, Treatment and Survivorship, Palliation, and Emerging Issues.

NH CCC brings together partners from national, state and local health organizations; community service organizations; cancer survivors; and individuals who work together to share knowledge and resources to address cancer statewide.

With a disease as complicated and far-reaching as cancer, one person, one team, or even one organization cannot hold all the answers. But together, our potential is boundless.
 

 

May is Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month

One in five people will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. Young women in New Hampshire are at an increased risk for developing melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, according to a recent study by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.

Skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, with many of the cases being linked to overexposure to ultraviolet sunlight and indoor tanning equipment. Educating teens and young adults about this risk is a top priority for the NH CCC Primary Prevention Work Group.
