Transforming partnerships to reduce cancer disparities
and achieve health equity in Wisconsin

Who We Are

The Community and Cancer Science Network (CCSN) is a broad collaborative across multiple sectors and specialties that come together to address breast and lung cancer disparities in Wisconsin through collaborative work group formation, understanding the role of mammographic quality, and a cancer disparities pilot curriculum for research and community stakeholders​.

About Us

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.
