Breast, Colon, and Prostate Cancer Data Quality and Treatment Patterns of Care StudyIn 2001, eight central cancer registries received awards to participate in the Breast, Colon, and Prostate Cancer Data Quality and Treatment Patterns of Care (PoC) study funded and coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). All eight participating registries are part of the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). This study is part of a larger NPCR initiative to conduct cancer surveillance studies. Activities within the NPCR initiative include developing, conducting, and evaluating cancer surveillance projects targeting breast, colorectal, prostate, ovarian, and oral/pharyngeal cancers.

Eight NPCR-supported central cancer registries participate in the PoC study:
Note: Plans are underway to use the results obtained from the current study, along with their implications for clinical practice, to help shape future PoC studies. By supporting PoC studies, CDC is helping NPCR cancer registries to build the necessary infrastructure so that more registries will be able to participate in similar projects in the future. CDC welcomes comments and inquiries from interested state registries. *Links to non-Federal organizations found at this site are provided solely as a service to our users.
