About the Northern California Cancer Center (NCCC)

NCCC is one of five institutions producing the research findings of the California Teachers Study. Dedicated to preventing cancer where possible and to reducing the devastation of cancer where it cannot yet be prevented, NCCC is the only center in the US dedicated solely to cancer prevention research.

NCCC and the other CTS study collaborators pose research questions, gather data to test these hypotheses, and interpret findings.
