Texas Cancer Control Toolkit - Get Organized, Get Connected, Make a Difference

Vertical Color BarVertical Color BarVertical Color Bar
The Texas Cancer Control Toolkit helps your community organize to heighten awareness of cancer issues, save lives and, ultimately, decrease the burden of cancer. Communities can impact cancer incidence and mortality rates by applying a comprehensive approach in a collaborative environment.

To maximize the impact of state resources, the Texas Comprehensive Cancer Control Coalition (TCCCC), the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Texas Cancer Council (TCC) collaborated to create this community-level Cancer Control Toolkit.
