Regional, state and territorial public health central cancer registries collect, manage, and analyze data about cancer cases and cancer deaths. Cancer surveillance is a complex system that captures longitudinal data from multiple data sources using a variety of methods. In addition to recording the occurrence of each reportable cancer (or tumor), the reporters provide information to public health central cancer registries on the diagnosis, treatment and vital status. Reporting requirements may vary by hospital, state, district, territory, or province. Please note for the purposes of this implementation guide the term, “reportable cancer” is inclusive of all tumors reportable to a public health central cancer registry. The North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) Standards for Cancer Registries, Data Standards and Data Dictionary
, describes the standards of tumor reportability for national standard-setting organizations in North America.
