Explore Findings from a New Modeling Study on Colorectal Cancer Screening and Outcomes 

Join fellow ACS NCCRT members and Comprehensive Cancer Coalitions on Tuesday, April 15th from 12:00-1:00 PM ET for the latest ACS NCCRT Blue Star Conversation, titled “Modeling the impact of colorectal cancer screening and timely follow-up colonoscopy: Recent data from the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET).”

The program will feature a presentation highlighting late-breaking data from the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET), a consortium of NCI-sponsored investigators that includes modeling to improve our understanding of the impact of cancer control interventions on population trends in incidence and mortality. After the presentation, participants will have an opportunity to discuss implications of the data, including how findings can be used to inform CRC prevention and control strategies.  

Registration is open to ACS NCCRT members and CDC’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program and Comprehensive Cancer Control Program grantees. 

New Cancer Data on African American & Black People

Cancer mortality declines, but an elevated cancer burden persists.

Cancer Statistics for African American and Black People, 2025, is a scientific article published in the American Cancer Society's flagship journal CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians in the Facts & Figures series. Fast Facts: Cancer in African American and Black People offers consumer-friendly highlights of some key statistics.

Key Findings:

• Black people have the highest death rate for many cancers, including breast and prostate, the two most common cancers in men and women.
• Black women are 38% more likely to die from breast cancer than White women, despite slightly lower incidence rates.
• Black people have lower survival than White people for almost every cancer type.
