Different Kinds of Cancer Registries
![Page 14: Quality Cancer Data Saves Lives](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166ec550346895ddb392c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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)

Inaccurate data is useless, expensive, and often harmful
![Page 60: Quality Cancer Data Saves Lives](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568166ec550346895ddb392c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
National data is only as good as state and local data
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)
