What is the Community and Cancer Science Network (CCSN)
|
A network that brings together community and research perspectives to reimagine persistent, intractable health problems and develop collaborative approaches to disrupt contributing pathways.
|
The CCSN is bringing together varied perspectives to understand and address cancer disparities.
|
Cancer disparities are complex and many factors contribute to them.
We believe that bringing together many different perspectives will help everyone understand cancer disparities differently and help us all find better solutions. |
