CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) Funding in Florida

  • Disseminate appropriate prostate cancer education targeted to disparate population. 
  • Support high-quality prostate cancer research and the development of collaborative research networks across Florida. 
  •  Increase outreach efforts to minority men to educate on prostate cancer risk reduction behaviors and informed decision making on prostate cancer screening. 
  • Increase healthcare provider utilization of the informed decision making process to address screening and treatment options for prostate cancer. 
  • Increase health communication and health education efforts to education the public, policy makers, and the healthcare sector about the major issues relating to prostate cancer.  
  • Raise awareness of survivorship needs. 
  • Increase healthcare professionals’ knowledge, skills, and practice to address prostate cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and support for prostate cancer, as well as improve access and appropriate utilization of high quality prostate cancer care. Although the value of PSA screening remains controversial, men who present for periodic health examinations should be made aware of the availability of PSA testing so that they can make informed decisions about their individual need for routine screening. Discussion should include the implications for treatment versus continued monitoring, if positive values are found.
