A: Data collected by state cancer registries enable public health professionals to better understand and address the cancer burden. Information derived through cancer registries is critical for directing effective cancer prevention and control program focused on preventing risk behaviors for cancer (e.g., tobacco use and poor diet) and reducing environmental risk factors. Such information is also essential for identifying when and where cancer screening efforts should be enhanced.

A: Cancer registries collect data about the occurrence of cancer (incidence), the types of cancer that occur, the body site location, the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis (stage), the kinds of treatment received by cancer patients, and the outcome of treatment and clinical management (death or survival).

A cancer registry is a cancer information center. Registries collect information about new cancer cases, cancer treatment, and cancer deaths. central cancer registries collect information about cancer patients in a particular area such as the state of Tennessee

The NSW Central Cancer Registry is the agency established under the Public Health Act, to receive notification of cancer in New South Wales. The Registry is managed by the Cancer Institute NSW for the NSW Department of Health. The Cancer Registry maintains a Register of all cases of cancer diagnosed in NSW since the beginning of 1972. All information sent to the Registry is kept confidential, is held under tight security and is protected by the Public Health Act.

When it is confirmed that a child is a victim of abuse, the child's name is entered into the Central Registry. The purpose of the Central Registry is to gather data on the incidence and nature of child abuse in Oregon. It is also used as a resource for identifying repeated cases of abuse. The Central Registry was established by Oregon law and is maintained by the Department of Human Services, Children Adults and Families, and the Office of Self Sufficiency and Child Safety.

A central repository allows additional studies on samples and data collected in significant studies, enhancing the value of each study. It also ensures that samples are stored under uniform conditions, and simplifies access by other scientists to samples. Similarly, reposited datasets can be maintained, queried, and reconfigured to facilitate new analyses after the Data Coordinating Center closes.

The Tennessee Cancer Registry (TCR) is the central cancer registry for the state of Tennessee. Health care facilities throughout the state report information to the TCR about cancer cases they diagnose or treat.

All cancer registries which publish high quality data have a substantial lag period before the data for a given year are complete. The California Cancer Registry (CCR) puts a high priority on reducing this lag period as much as possible without compromising data quality. A number of circumstances are involved in the delay before a cancer case is reported to the CCR.

A: The cancer registry has met all but one of the nine NAACCR standards. It is expected that this last standard on timeliness will be met within the next two years. Nevada's statute was amended in 1997 to require pathology laboratories to report information regarding cancer diagnoses. The State Board of Health implemented this new requirement through regulations that were adopted in late 1998.

The purpose of Cancer Monthly is to help cancer patients get the facts about the results of cancer treatments - both the successes and the failures so that they can have productive discussions with their doctors. The information is NOT intended, nor recommended as a substitute for professional medical advice, treatment advice or treatment recommendations.

Guide planning and evaluation of cancer control programs (e.g., determined whether screening and other prevention measures are making a difference). Provide information for an aggregated and centralized database of cancer incidence in the United States.

The Statewide Registry provides a centralized source of information for judges. Judges can find out important information about persons they are considering appointing as private conservators and guardians without having to check every county.

A: There have been obvious limitations to the utility of cancer registry data due to the timeliness issues. Nevertheless, the data that do exist are considered to be of high quality. In fact, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) audited Nevada's data in January 2001 and found it to meet their gold standard in all respects except for having 95% of the cases within 2 years of diagnosis.

The California Cancer Registry (CCR) is California's statewide population-based cancer registry. The California Department of Health Services runs the CCR. It was created by state law and requires the registration of all cancer diagnoses in the state of California. The state law requires that doctors, hospitals and other facilities that diagnose and treat cancer patients report to the California Cancer Registry each new cancer diagnosis and some information about the patient.

Every cancer diagnosis made in California from 1988 onward is required by law to be reported to the California Cancer Registry (CCR). The exceptions are the common skin cancers (basal and squamous cell carcinomas) and certain non-invasive cancerous conditions of the uterine cervix. The CCR, as well as the regional registries, the cancer registrars, and others who collect cancer data for the CCR, all make a major effort to ensure that the data are as accurate and complete as possible.

The state law that mandates that all cancers diagnosed in California be reported to the California Department of Health Services for the California Cancer Registry (CCR) does not provide for removal of cancer patient information from the registry. To fulfill its purpose of providing information to find the causes and cures for cancer, it is vital for the CCR to be complete.

The Registry allows possible biological but not legal fathers to provide identifying information about themselves, the mother, and the child, so registered men can be notified about adoption proceedings.

No. In Pennsylvania records of marriage licenses are maintained in the county where you applied for the license. This is true even if you applied in Philadelphia County but were married in another county of the Commonwealth. The laws of Pennsylvania state that you can apply in any county of the Commonwealth and use the license in any other county of the Commonwealth.

a. Waste material, especially that which has remained in the colon for some time, (i.e. impacted faeces, dead cellular tissue, accumulated mucous, parasites, worms, etc.), poses several problems. First this material is quite toxic (poisonous). These poisons can re-enter and circulate in the blood stream making us feel ill, tired or weak. b. Impacted materials impair the colon's ability to assimilate minerals and bacteria- produced vitamins.

The Trade Registry allows horticultural trades people, paraprofessionals and nurseries to source products and services from related suppliers.

The GST/HST Registry is an online application that allows goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) registrants to validate the GST/HST number of their supplier, which helps to ensure that claims submitted for input tax credits only include GST/HST charged by suppliers who are registered for GST/HST purposes.

The New Jersey State Cancer Registry (NJSCR) collects information on all new cases of cancer diagnosed since October 1978 among people living in New Jersey at the time of diagnosis. Over 40,000 cases are reported to the Registry each year.

New Jersey law requires that in-state hospitals report all new cases within six months of diagnosis. Out of state hospitals are not covered by the law, but we do received data from hospitals in nearby states, as well as Florida. After that, all data must be carefully checked and processed by the NJSCR. Therefore, it usually takes from 12 to 18 months after diagnosis for the information on new cases to be available for statistical analysis.
