Description
Since 1994, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has administered the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The NPCR currently helps states and territories to improve cancer registries, meet standards for data completeness, timeliness, and quality, develop model laws and regulations to strengthen registry operations, train registry personnel, establish a computerized reporting and data processing system for registries, and use cancer data to support cancer prevention and control programs.
