National Cancer Registry
What is the National Cancer Registry and Why is it Important?
The National Cancer Registry is a secure database that collects and maintains accurate information about your medical history, cancer diagnosis, treatments and follow-up care.
This data supports your care team in evaluating the best treatment options for your specific type of cancer and ensures every step of your treatment is carefully tracked.
The information also plays a key role in cancer research. Researchers use data (without your name or personal details) to understand cancer trends, improve treatments and enhance care for future patients. Only your treatment team has access to your full medical record within the registry, and all personal information remains confidential and protected.
By combining data from patients across the country, the registry helps improve patient care nationwide, ensuring patients receive the most effective, up-to-date treatments for their unique cases.
