The divisions of the UK Markey Cancer Control
Program have distinct but complementary
strengths and missions. Together, they form a
multi-faceted and comprehensive cancer control
program.
UK Markey Cancer Control Program
The UK Markey Cancer Control Program divisions integrate
• Data (Kentucky Cancer Registry)
• Information (Cancer Information Service)
• Outreach (Kentucky Cancer Program)
• Research (all divisions)
UK Markey Cancer Control Program

UK Markey Cancer Control Program
KCR data
• Shows age-adjusted cancer incidence rates by county and Area Development District (ADD)
• Includes demographic information (age, sex, race, etc.) and cancer-specific information (type, stage, treatment, etc.)
• Is managed by a state-of-the-art electronic data system
Kentucky Cancer Registry
UK Markey Cancer Control Program
• Shows how age-adjusted cancer incidence rates in Kentucky are different from those reported by NCI’s SEER Program
• Shows how age-adjusted cancer incidence rates in Kentucky have been increasing each year since 1995 while the SEER age-adjusted rates have been decreasing
