The Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan for 2009-2012 is a collaboration of
professionals in healthcare, social work, higher education, government,
non-profit agencies and citizens who have first-hand knowledge of cancer.
The pinwheel on the cover represents the different components of the plan. Just as this
pinwheel is made up of different pieces attached together to form a cohesive whole,
Tennessee’s comprehensive cancer control plan is the result of representatives from
many communities sharing information and combining it to form a cohesive plan.
A pinwheel not only symbolizes cohesion and harmony, but it also represents forward
motion. The Cancer Control Plan represents the teamwork and determination of
many individuals to move forward in the fight against cancer in Tennessee.
The pinwheel is a metaphor for the Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan.

Introduction
Why Care about Cancer?
You know someone who has been affected by cancer – a family member, friend,
coworker, or perhaps, you yourself. The second leading cause of death in Tennessee,
cancer, touches us all. In Tennessee, cancer claims about 12,300 lives each year.
Although heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death for the total
population, in Tennessee, like in other states, in persons under age 85 cancer is the
leading cause of death. Approximately 1 in 3 Tennesseans now living, will eventually
have cancer.
That’s the sad prognosis, but many cancers can be avoided. Nearly 65 percent of new
cancer cases and 33 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented through lifestyle
changes such as eliminating tobacco use, improving dietary habits, exercising regularly,
maintaining a healthy weight, obtaining early detection cancer screening tests, and
obtaining timely and appropriate treatment. We believe that together, we can make a
difference.
A Unified Fight Against Cancer
The Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition (TCCCC) exists to wage a
unified fight against cancer across the state. To this aim, the Coalition has developed
and sustained an integrated and coordinated approach to reducing cancer incidence,
mortality, and morbidity and improving the quality of life for those affected by cancer
in Tennessee. The mission statement of the TCCCC is: To measurably reduce the burden
of cancer on the citizens of Tennessee by implementing a collaborative statewide plan
driven by data, science, capacity and outcomes.
What is Comprehensive Cancer Control?
Comprehensive cancer control, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, is “a collaborative process through which a community pools resources
to reduce the burden of cancer that results in risk reduction, early detection, better
treatment, and enhanced survivorship.” The Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control
Coalition is dedicated to this approach.

How is Comprehensive Cancer Control Accomplished?
Comprehensive cancer control relies on active involvement by concerned citizens and
key stakeholders and uses data in a systematic process to:
• determine the cancer burden;
• identify the needs of communities and/or population-based groups;
• prioritize these needs;
• develop interventions and infrastructure to address the needs;
• mobilize resources to implement interventions; and
• evaluate the impact of these interventions on the health of the community/
population.
Using a state leadership structure, as well as standing and resource committees, more
than 400 TCCCC volunteers are battling cancer across the state and in their own
backyards via regional Coalitions impacting critical cancer issues in their communities.

Executive Summary
The Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan provides a roadmap for the activities
of the Tennessee Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition (TCCCC) through the years
2009-2012. The Plan incorporates broad goals that will be implemented by members
of five regional coalitions and twelve state-wide committees. The work plan is prepared
annually using the framework of the Plan to prioritize the work and establish measurable
outcomes for evaluation.
The Plan begins with a call to action from Phil Bredesen, Governor of Tennessee, and Susan
Cooper, MSN, RN, Commissioner, Tennessee Department of Health. The call to action builds
on the previous work of the coalition summarized in Cancer Plan Progress, 2005-2008. The
incidence and mortality data used in this Plan are from Burden of Cancer in Tennessee, a
report published by the Office of Cancer Surveillance in December 2007.
Following the call to action, a goal summary is listed which includes sixteen goals
representing the scope of the Plan. Added to this Plan are specific goals that have been
identified for the continuum of cancer care, including primary prevention, early detection,
treatment and care, survivorship, and palliative care.
The overarching issues of cancer disparities, health literacy, surveillance, and lifestyle and
environment that were identified in the 2005-2008 Plan remain in the 2009-2012 Plan.
Goals for two other issues, clinical trials and advocacy, have been added to this Plan. This
Plan also continues to identify specific cancers that can be impacted by prevention and
screening efforts. There are goals, objectives, and strategies to address tobacco related
cancers, women’s cancers, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancer and melanoma,
and childhood cancers.
An additional priority for the 2009-2012 Plan is to establish sustainability for the TCCCC.
This will be accomplished by working with state legislators and the Commissioner of Health
to fund TCCCC initiatives.
Readers are invited to view the tear out on pages 15-16 to learn how they can participate in
the coalition and plan implementation. A membership form is also included.
This Plan is provided to the citizens of Tennessee as a comprehensive strategy to reduce the
burden of cancer in Tennessee.
