The Office of Cancer Control and Prevention (OCCP) coordinates comprehensive cancer control efforts in New Jersey and is a collaborative process by which a community and its partners pool resources to reduce illness and death due to cancer through prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliation.
The OCCP participates in the national efforts of the CDC to establish state-based cancer control plans and conduct prevention of cancer risk factors, enhance early detection of preventable cancers and facilitate survivorship through the activities of its Chronic Disease Coalitions.
