Comprehensive cancer control is a collaborative process by which a community and its partners pool resources to reduce the incidence, illness, and death due to cancer through prevention, early detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliation. (CDC)

The New Jersey Executive Order 114 created the Task Force on Cancer Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment in New Jersey (Task Force) on May 9, 2000. The Task Force was then memorialized by Public Law 2005, Chapter 280 on January 6, 2006.
The Task Force, its workgroups and standing committees, created the first New Jersey Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan (Plan) with the overall goal of reducing the burden of cancer among New Jersey residents. The Plan was released in January 2003 and has since been implemented by over 2,000 volunteers and organizations throughout the state. A second edition of the Plan (2008-2012) was released in January 2008.
