What is a reportable list in a cancer registry?

Cancer registries and cancer surveillance programs typically describe the reportable neoplasms as any neoplasm with a behavior code (fifth digit in a complete six-digit morphology code) of /2 (in situ) or /3 (invasive). Some registries also collect and report the benign (/0) and borderline (/1) neoplasms.

What is an important aspect of cancer registry data collection?

A cancer registry is essential for collecting, compiling, and analyzing cancer data throughout the state. Cancer registries across the country collect data on nearly 1.6 million cancer cases each year, including information on location, how cancer spreads, and how cancer is treated.
