About Us

The Kentucky Cancer Program (KCP) is recognized nationally as a unique program which offers cancer control resources to individuals across the state. With 12 regional offices and 15 district cancer councils throughout the state, KCP is working to identify cancer problems and mobilize communities into action. Addressing special populations through coalitions like the Kentucky African Americans Against Cancer (KAAAC) is an organizational priority.

The mission is to promote cancer education, research, and service programs to reduce cancer incidence and mortality. Funded by the General Assembly and jointly administered by the James Graham Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville and the Lucille Parker Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky, KCP focuses specifically on the state's cancer problems.

The Kentucky Cancer Program is working in communities across the state

 to reduce the cancer burden for you, your family and friends. A

network of cancer control services is available to the public,

health care providers and patients.
