C3I Publications

C3I Logo

The Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) was launched by the National Cancer Institute as part of the Cancer Moonshot program to help cancer centers build and implement sustainable tobacco cessation treatment programs to routinely address tobacco cessation with cancer patients. 52 cancer centers were funded in three successive cohorts from 2017-2021.

All C3I-related publications from funded centers, the Coordinating Center at the University of Wisconsin, and cross-center collaborations are listed below.

Practical guidance and resources to deliver tobacco treatment to patients in clinical settings.
