Mahoning Valley Coalition for Cancer Control & Prevention in the Black Community (MVCCCPBC)
The National Black Leadership Initiative on Cancer (NBLIC) was established by the National Cancer Advisory Board in 1989 as the first minority outreach initiative of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). From this the MVCCCPBC was established in 1990 to address the cancer burden found in the African American population. It has been well documented that the African American population has a higher incidence rate of some cancers, as well as higher mortality rates than other ethnic groups. The mission of the Mahoning Valley Coalition for Cancer Control & Prevention in the Black Community is to embrace and support the goal of reducing cancer and cancer mortality among this ethnic group. Under the leadership of prominent members of the black community and other interested individuals, this coalition has increased awareness, designed programs and informed African Americans about cancer risks and addressed barriers that limit access to opportunities for prevention, early detection and state-of-the-art treatment for cancer.
