California Cancer Registry
http://www.ccrcal.org/
The California Cancer Registry (CCR) is California's statewide population-based cancer surveillance system. The CCR collects information about all cancers diagnosed in California (except basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix). This information furthers our understanding of cancer and is used to develop strategies and policies for its prevention, treatment and control. Many cancers can be cured if detected early and treated promptly. Some can be prevented with behavioral or lifestyle changes. The availability of data on cancer in the state allows health researchers to analyze geographic, ethnic, occupational and other differences that provide clues that point to risk factors. The data also helps determine where early detection, educational or other programs should be directed.
