The next generation of cancer surveillance
starts with today’s reporting
California Cancer Registry (CCR) is a comprehensive state-wide cancer surveillance program and resource for the cancer community. We collect information about almost all cancers diagnosed in California. This information furthers our understanding of cancer and is used to develop strategies and policies for its prevention, treatment, and control. Our goal is to streamline reporting methods and to collect information critical to advancing the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment.

CCR is recognized as one of the leading cancer registries in the world and has been the cornerstone of a substantial amount of research on cancer in the California population since 1988.

Cancer affects populations differently. Minority groups in California continue to bear a disproportionate cancer burden. The reasons for this are largely related to issues such as access to health care and other socioeconomic factors.
