About us
As NCI’s bridge to public health research, practice, and policy, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) plays a unique role in reducing the burden of cancer in America. DCCPS has the lead responsibility at NCI for supporting research in surveillance, epidemiology, health services, behavioral science, and cancer survivorship. The division also plays a central role within the federal government as a source of expertise and evidence on issues such as the quality of cancer care, the economic burden of cancer, geographic information systems, statistical methods, communication science, comparative effectiveness research, obesity, tobacco control, and the translation of research into practice.

A new report from the American Cancer Society—powered by analyses using NCI’s SEER data and tools—offers powerful confirmation of a trend we’ve been watching closely: 70% of individuals diagnosed between 2015–2021 survived at least five years, a remarkable increase from prior decades. This progress reflects extraordinary advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. It also underscores that as the population of cancer survivors grows rapidly, so does the need to understand and support their long‑term health. The NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship is encouraged by the momentum reflected in this new report and remains committed to advancing the science that supports survivors’ long-term health and well-being. 🔗Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/evYnnBP5.
