Cancer Registry
A Cancer Regisitry is information required by law and reported to the state
and federal government, including the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the National Cancer Institute. Details on diagnosis, treatment,
and survivorship are collected and reported for every patient we see and
treat. Our Cancer Registrars are healthcare professionals that collect,
analyze, and report this cancer data. This information provides us with
valuable cancer statistics and help us determine what cancer treatments
are the most effective.
