Stamp Out Cancer Brooklyn (SOCB) is a community-based initiative that focuses on cancer prevention and reducing gaps in receiving cancer care in Brooklyn. The project aims to reduce cancer-related disparities and the overall burden of cancer by engaging local communities to disseminate innovative, evidence-based solutions for cancer prevention, early detection, care, and survivorship. Cancer prevention efforts focus on obesity, tobacco cessation, and vaccination against and treatment for infection-related cancers, as well as screening, early detection, treatment, and survivorship. Project partners include the Department of Population Health, NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn, the Family Health Centers at NYU Langone, and a network for Brooklyn-based social and health partners.
