It is the policy of Cancer Epidemiology Services (CES) to encourage research use of New Jersey State Cancer Registry (NJSCR) data for the purpose of determining the incidence and etiology of malignant neoplasms and/or evaluating measures designed to eliminate, alleviate, or reduce the impact of cancer. CES collaborates with many researchers to facilitate cancer research using the NJSCR.
Cancer-Rates.info/NJ, New Jersey's official source for cancer statistics, provides cancer incidence and mortality data for New Jersey displayed in maps, tables, and graphs.
The New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research (NJCCR) promotes significant and original research in New Jersey into the causes, prevention, treatment and palliation of cancer and serves as a resource to providers and consumers of cancer services.
