The Carolina Community Network
The Carolina Community Network (CCN) is a regional cancer network developed to reduce prostate, breast
and colorectal cancer disparities among adult African Americans in North Carolina.
The CCN is based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and works with
partners in the central and eastern regions of the state. The network is comprised of
six cores, including one administrative core and five resource cores that work
together to increase the success of cancer prevention and treatment activities,
increase the number of community members actively involved in clinical trials and other
forms of research, and strengthen the community's knowledge of cancer risks and
prevention.
The goal of the CCN is to combine the strengths of the community with resources and
research expertise at UNC to reduce cancer disparities through education, research and
training.
