California Ovarian Cancer Awareness Program (COCAP)
|
Welcome to our website! The California Department of Public Health's Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (CCCP), in collaboration with the California Dialogue on Cancer, administers the California Ovarian Cancer Awareness Program (COCAP).
COCAP is an ovarian cancer awareness program targeting women and health care providers in California. The goals of the program are to promote education around the symptoms of ovarian cancer and increase early diagnosis and improved treatment methods in order to reduce mortality from ovarian cancer.
