The DCPCR’s cancer control research:

• Spans a continuum from primary prevention, screening and early detection to continuing care, rehabilitation and outcomes research.
• Links laboratory and clinical research to individuals, families and communities.
• Employs multiple research disciplines, including behavioral science, epidemiology and health services research.
• Has a substantial focus on reducing cancer-related morbidity and mortality among low-income, ethnic minority and other underserved groups.

The DCPCR is jointly housed in JCCC and UCLA's School of Public Health and its members represent a variety of departments in the Schools of Public Health, Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry and the College of Letters and Sciences.
