In each state, medical facilities (including hospitals, physicians' offices, therapeutic radiation facilities, freestanding surgical centers, and pathology laboratories) report these data to a central cancer registry.” http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/about.htm Population Based, Retrospective Data Collection Allows for capturing diagnosis, as well as initial treatment information National requirements for reporting Within 24 months from year of diagnosis Registries do not track incidence as diagnoses occur Cannot be used to identify cancer clusters Not real-time data Page 5 of 88 Nevada Central Cancer Registry (NCCR) Established and governed by NRS and NAC 457 Primary purpose Collect, register, and maintain a record of reportable cases of cancer occurring in the state Uses of the data Evaluate the appropriateness of measures for the prevention and control of cancer To conduct comprehensive epidemiological surveys of cancer and cancer related deaths De-identified data reported to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) Reporting began in 1995 NCCR Website http://www.health.nv.gov/VS_NVCancerRegistry.htm Page 6 of 88 How Data Is Collected Abstracting State NCCR Cancer Registrars visit facilities and abstract cases Hospitals and Other Facilities Facility Cancer Registrars abstract cases and submit information to the NCCR Pathology Labs Pathology reports sent to NCCR for case finding and supporting information Information from all sources is consolidated Final comprehensive case is reported to NPCR and NAACCR Data sharing with other states Reports received from other state registries of diagnosis and treatment information for Nevada Residents Reports sent to other state registries for their residents who are diagnosed or treated in Nevada Formal written agreements with 11 states, including all surrounding states NPCR Data Exchange Requirements Written agreements Confidentiality Data transmitted securely Page 7 of 88 Page 8 of 88 Cancer Incidence: Consolidated Cases Consolidated Cancer Cases 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 Nevada Central Cancer Registry Calendar Year (CY) 2000-2007 7,265 Total Consolidated Cases CY00 CY01 7,733 10,035 CY02 10,316 CY03 Cases 10,702 CY04 10,695 CY05 10,753 CY06 11,118 CY07 National Standards for Data Quality and Completeness NAACCR Gold Standard Certification for Past 6 Years!
