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.
