National Cancer Prevention and Control Program - Project Abstract-CDC-RFA-DP22-2202 Wisconsin Cancer Prevention and Control Program Comprehensive cancer control in Wisconsin has a long history of successful collaboration. In 2020, the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Program and the Wisconsin Cancer Council formally combined under one unified name, the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative (WCC). The WCC is an integration of our program staff, our statewide coalition, and our shared cancer control priorities. From 2014 to 2018, an average of 33,427 Wisconsin residents were diagnosed with cancer annually, and more than 11,400 people died of cancer each year. Lung cancer continues to be the cancer with the highest incidence and mortality rates in Wisconsin among men and women combined. Black and American Indian/Alaska Native populations carry an unequal breast, lung, and colorectal cancer burden in our state. Wisconsin has the nation’s second largest Black-White disparity in lung cancer mortality and the nation’s third largest Black-White disparity in female breast cancer mortality. The continued funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Cancer Prevention and Control Program will support the collaborative activities of our three cancer programs to reduce cancer incidence, cancer mortality, and cancer health disparities for all residents of Wisconsin. As we implement the WI Cancer Plan 2020-2030, we will rely on quality data to determine and prioritize our efforts. Collaborating with the Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System to support data collection and dissemination will be a key strategy for the WCC and the Wisconsin Well Woman Program (WWWP) during the next five years. Wisconsin’s three cancer programs will continue to work with a diverse group of public, private and community partners to develop and promote a statewide comprehensive approach to cancer control. The WCC and WCRS will continue to work with the WWWP, our state’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program component, utilizing data and community-based activities to reduce the breast cancer disparities between Black women and White women in Milwaukee and other areas in southeastern Wisconsin, where the majority of the state’s Black women reside. Milwaukee, with a population of 575,580 residents, is home to more than 60% of Wisconsin’s Black population. 1/26/2022
