California’s Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan (cancer plan) is a blueprint to reduce the cancer burden in California. It is designed to provide guidance to individuals and organizations spanning a wide range of health and social disciplines that can play a role in controlling cancer. All aspects of the cancer continuum are addressed which include:

• Primary prevention

• Early detection and screening

• Treatment

• Quality of life and end-of-life care

• Research and surveillance

• Eliminating disparities (cross-cutting)

The Comprehensive Cancer Program is charged with leading the development, distribution, and coordination of implementation of the plan through CDOC. California's first state cancer plan was created in 2004 with support from the first comprehensive cancer control grant. The fourth iteration of California's cancer plan is currently being revised. The new plan will span ten years and include priorities to be achieved and support continued cancer control efforts through 2035. The current iteration (2021-2025) of California's cancer plan includes goals and objectives to be achieved by 2025.
