A cancer registry is a systematic collection of data about cancer and tumor diseases. The data are collected by Cancer Registrars. Cancer Registrars capture a complete summary of patient history, diagnosis, treatment, and status for every cancer patient in the United States, and other countries as well.〔Khatib O, Aljurf M. Cancer Prevention and Control in the Eastern Mediterranean Region: The Need for a Public Health Approach. Hematol Oncol Stem Cell Ther 2008;1:44-52. ("Hematology/Oncology and Stem Cell Therapy" ) 〕 The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was established in 1973 as a result of the National Cancer Act of 1971. The National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) was established by Congress through the Cancer Registries Amendment Act in 1992, and administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).(). NPCR and SEER together collect cancer data for the entire U.S. population. CDC and NCI, in collaboration with the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries, have been publishing annual federal cancer statistics in the United States Cancer Statistics: Incidence and Mortality report. Information maintained in the cancer registry include; demographic information, medical history, diagnostic findings, cancer therapy and follow up details.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ncra-usa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3301#sub1 )〕 () The data is used to evaluate patient outcome, quality of life, provide follow-up information, calculate survival rates, analyze referral pattern, allocate resources at regional or state level, report cancer incidence as required under state law, and evaluate efficacy of treatment modalities.() There exist population-based cancer registries, hospital cancer registries (also called hospital-based cancer registries), and special purpose registries. == History == In 1926, Yale-New Haven Hospital became the first to set up a cancer registry. In 1956, the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) formally adopted a policy to encourage, through their Approvals Program, the development of hospital-based cancer registries. In 1973, The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of NCI establishes the first national cancer registry program. In 1992, U.S. Public Law 102-515 establishes the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and is administered by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).(). By 1993, most states considered cancer a reportable disease. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「cancer registry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
