A multifaceted and comprehensive program, the Markey Cancer Control Program is part of the Markey Cancer Center at the University of Kentucky. The Markey Cancer Control Program has four divisions, which work together in a collegial environment that fosters collaboration, encourages sharing of resources, and promotes quality research. 

These divisions receive funding from a variety of sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute, state funds, voluntary health agencies, and private organizations. The capabilities of the four divisions are strengthened through the leadership of Tom Tucker, PhD, MPH, Associate Director of the Markey Cancer Control Program.
