Cancer care continuum: Prevention > Detection > Diagnosis > Treatment > Survivorship
Prevention is the first phase in the cancer care continuum. Many of our faculty members’ research revolves around prevention, and working to educate the public of ways to reduce cancer risk. This message is communicated through our many community events and mass media campaigns. Our faculty focus their prevention messaging on modifiable lifestyle behaviors community members can change to reduce their cancer risk, while increasing their health knowledge.
