The California Cancer Registry (CCR) produces annual reports on statewide cancer incidence and mortality rates from 1988 through the most recent year for which data are complete . The reports are usually published in the spring of each year, and are available on request, and on our web site under Publications. Cancer rates for individual counties that have populations large enough to produce stable rates are available from the regional cancer registries that cover those counties.

In California, since 1988, the rates of certain cancers have decreased, especially those associated with tobacco use: cancers of the lung, bladder, mouth and throat, stomach and pancreas. Breast cancer rates, which increased sharply in the U.S. in the 1980s, have been stable or decreasing slightly in California since 1988. In the last few years, the likelihood of being diagnosed with prostate cancer has increased dramatically in California and elsewhere in the U. S.

California cancer rates cannot be compared precisely to national cancer rates. This is because cancer rates differ among persons of different race/ethnicity, and California uses a slightly different classification to characterize race/ethnicity groups than is used by the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program which produces national cancer rates.

The California Cancer Registry (CCR) monitors the occurrence of cancer among Californians, both incidence (new diagnoses) and mortality (deaths). The CCR, which is operated by the California Department of Health Services in collaboration with the Public Health Institute and ten regional cancer registries, is an essential tool for the prevention and control of cancer in California.

All cancer registries which publish high quality data have a substantial lag period before the data for a given year are complete. The California Cancer Registry (CCR) puts a high priority on reducing this lag period as much as possible without compromising data quality. A number of circumstances are involved in the delay before a cancer case is reported to the CCR.

Skin cancer has a 20- to 30-year latency period. The rates of skin cancer we are seeing today are most likely the result of bad habits from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s that were based on ignorance and misinformation about sun tanning. In those days, many people still considered sunburns an inconvenient right of spring, a precursor to developing a summer tan. People believed that sunburns would "fade" into tans, and so tanners hit the beaches and blacktops with baby oil and reflectors.

Common risk factors: If a place has many older residents, for example, cancer rates will be higher than in a place with many younger residents. Some kinds of cancers are more common among people of one race or ethnicity than another. For example, breast cancer rates are generally higher among white women than among women of other races.

The California Cancer Registry (CCR) is California's statewide population-based cancer registry. The California Department of Health Services runs the CCR. It was created by state law and requires the registration of all cancer diagnoses in the state of California. The state law requires that doctors, hospitals and other facilities that diagnose and treat cancer patients report to the California Cancer Registry each new cancer diagnosis and some information about the patient.

Every cancer diagnosis made in California from 1988 onward is required by law to be reported to the California Cancer Registry (CCR). The exceptions are the common skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) and certain non-invasive cancerous conditions of the uterine cervix. The CCR, as well as the regional registries, the cancer registrars, and others who collect cancer data for the CCR, all make a major effort to ensure that the data are as accurate and complete as possible.

The state law that mandates that all cancers diagnosed in California be reported to the California Department of Health Services for the California Cancer Registry (CCR) does not provide for removal of cancer patient information from the registry. To fulfill its purpose of providing information to find the causes and cures for cancer, it is vital for the CCR to be complete.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in California and the United States. In 2003, 23 percent of all California deaths were due to cancer, compared to 29 percent due to heart disease, the leading cause of death, and 7 percent due to stroke, the third leading cause of death. However, cancer has surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 85.

The local enforcement agency (LEA) or county can issue vouchers or letters to private individuals if they will be hauling 10 or more tires at any given time. LEAs may also issue vouchers for amnesty day events. In these instances, the collection site (city/county) is considered the "generator" of the waste tires and a registered waste tire hauler or exempt government vehicle is required to haul the waste tires away from the collection site.

By choice or by circumstance, people tend to live in neighborhoods where they have things in common with other residents, such as race or ethnicity, education, income, occupation or lifestyle. These types of characteristics are important elements of cancer risk. Some examples include: Cancer risk increases with age. Therefore, we would expect to find higher cancer rates in areas with lots of older residents.
