ASPO Cancer Prevention & Control Continuum
In April 2025, ASPO affirmed that it’s definition of the continuum of cancer prevention and control is aligned with the NCI’s Cancer Control Continuum, with a few additional crosscutting areas, including biology, community engagement, data science and risk prediction modeling. ASPO endeavors to cover these topics in its educational programming.
