What does ISCC mean in CANCER

The Implementation Science Consortium in Cancer (ISCC) is a non-profit organization that seeks to accelerate cancer control efforts through the development and implementation of evidence-based interventions. It focuses on creating a bridge between research and practice by bringing together researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and funders to develop strategies and tools that can make a difference in reducing inequities and improving outcomes for those affected by cancer.

The ISCC works to bring together stakeholders from across sectors to develop evidence-based approaches, scale up successful models, implement best practices, increase access to care, address disparities, reduce barriers to accessing care, create better quality of life for those affected by cancer and catalyze change in policy and systems of care.

The ISCC has developed innovative approaches to tackling some of the toughest challenges facing our field today. Moreover, it has invested resources in transforming knowledge into action on the ground. In particular, the consortium has helped expand access to comprehensive cancer services within low-income countries as well as cut down costs associated with providing treatments within different settings. Additionally, it has addressed disparities faced by many communities who are disproportionately impacted by cancer such as rural or indigenous populations.

There are several ways you can become involved with the consortium through both structured opportunities such as joining one of its working groups or attending its annual conference or more informal routes such as engaging in public discussion forums online or following its social media accounts. Additionally you can consider making a donation or volunteering your time through any number of initiatives offered by the organization itself.

The work of The ISCC has had an immense influence on improving clinical outcomes globally through strengthening health systems in different settings; developing new models for service delivery; increasing data accessibility for health workers; advocating for strong policy frameworks around equitable access; creating sustainable financing strategies; increasing access to palliative care services; increasing community awareness around early detection among other areas.

Yes! Donations are hugely impactful for helping us realize our mission faster than we would be able to otherwise achieve it – they also signify trust placed in what we’re doing which naturally motivates us further in continuing making an impact in cancer control efforts worldwide! To make a donation visit our website today at www.[isccancer].org/donations.

We encourage interested individuals from all backgrounds who have expertise related to implementation science (including but not limited to clinicians/practitioners/public health professionals/policy makers etc.) engage with us either through joining one of our existing working groups which meet every 4-8 weeks or propose starting a new one altogether taking into consideration whether there is already similar effort being undertaken elsewhere while identifying novel topics where working group activity could be beneficial moving forward. More information can found on our website at www.[isccancer].org/working_groups.
