GoalThe ultimate goal of collecting cancer information is to prevent and control cancer and improve patient care

Page 8: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

ResultAssist physicians in assessing the efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic methods

Page 9: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

ResultAid in the decision making about unmet needs, physician recruitment, space needs, resource allocation, and health planning

Page 10: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

ResultRespond to local needs through an assessment of referral patterns, cancer trends, and development opportunities

Page 11: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Cancer Registries collect a wide range of cancer-related information; including —n Demographics

Page 12: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Cancer-related Informationn Medical historyn Diagnosis and prognosis indicatorsn Treatment patterns

n Cancer recurrencen Survival ratesn Health care coveragen Patient eligibility

Page 13: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Different Kinds of Cancer Registries

Page 14: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Health care providers record patient information and diagnosis

Hospital-based cancer registrar abstracts patient information into

uniform data sets and checks for an existing record for each patient

Patient data is aggregated on a state level, and then sent to national

registries (SEER or NPCR)

Page 20: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Today, NPCR and SEER registries work collaboratively to collect and report cancer statistics on the entire U.S. population.http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/uscs/

Page 21: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

NPCR provides national leadership to Cancer Registries

NAACCR Certified State Registries 2011• Gold• Silver• Black- did not meet

certification requirements

Page 22: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

NPCR is expanding efforts to improve and use cancer data by:Providing technical assistance to registries to help ensure data completeness, timeliness, and quality

Page 23: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Coordinating and convening meetings of registry personnel for information sharing, problem solving, and training

Page 24: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Helping states and national organizations use cancer data to describe state and national disease burdens, evaluate cancer control activities, and identify populations at risk for certain cancers

Page 25: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Collaborating with federal, state, and private organizations to design and conduct research using data collected through state registries

Page 26: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

established national standards to ensure the completeness, timeliness, and quality of Cancer Registry data

Page 44: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Cancer Information is Used to Improve Prevention, Research, and Care

Page 45: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Evaluate patient outcome, quality of life, and

satisfaction issues and implement procedures for

improvement

Cancer information is used in thousands of ways, including —

Page 46: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Evaluate efficacy of treatment modalities

Page 47: Quality  Cancer Data Saves Lives

Provide outcome information for cancer surveillance
