Cancer registries are sources of epidemiological, patterns-of-care, and outcome data for local, regional, state, and national studies of patients with cancer. Since 1976, these registries have formed a voluntary network of contributors to annual patient care studies under the aegis of the National Cancer Data Committee of the Commission on Cancer. These annual studies provide timely clinical information that is widely disseminated to physicians, allied health personnel, administrators, health care planners, and public and private agencies. The use of the data has grown exponentially and has been the basis for more than 90 publications. Merging this activity with the National Cancer Data Base has further expanded the demand and use of registry data. This study was undertaken to respond to inquiries as to the validity of the data and the qualifications and competency of cancer registrars. It provides the baseline for cancer registry data quality and serves as a quality management tool to identify opportunities to enhance data quality.
癌症登记处是用于对癌症患者进行地方、区域、州和国家层面研究的流行病学、护理模式及结果数据的来源。自1976年以来，这些登记处在癌症委员会国家癌症数据委员会的支持下，形成了一个为年度患者护理研究提供数据的自愿网络。这些年度研究提供及时的临床信息，并广泛传播给医生、专职医疗人员、管理人员、医疗保健规划人员以及公共和私人机构。数据的使用呈指数级增长，并且已成为90多篇出版物的基础。将这项活动与国家癌症数据库合并，进一步扩大了对登记处数据的需求和使用。开展这项研究是为了回应有关数据有效性以及癌症登记员资质和能力的询问。它为癌症登记处数据质量提供了基线，并作为一种质量管理工具，以识别提高数据质量的机会。
