It is a statewide population-based cancer registry that collects information about almost all cancers diagnosed in California. State law requires all cancers* diagnosed in California to be reported. CCR aggregates this data, performs many phases of quality control, and analyzes the data on a statewide basis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row parallax=”content-moving”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1545285891674{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

CCR data meets all NPCR and SEER standards for quality, timeliness, and completeness. At CCR, our primary goals are to continue to streamline the process of reporting and to ensure that the data we obtain is of the highest accuracy and quality.
*CCR does not collect data on non-melanoma skin cancers and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
