Abstract

This is a collaborative umbrella organization for cancer registries, governmental agencies, professional associations, and private groups in North America interested in enhancing the quality and use of cancer registry data. NAACCR's mission is to develop and promote uniform data standards for cancer registration; provide education and training; certify population-based registries; aggregate and publish data from central cancer registries; and promote the use of cancer surveillance data and systems for cancer control and epidemiologic research, public health programs, and patient care to reduce the burden of cancer in North America. Membership in NAACCR includes most central cancer registries in the United States and Canada. The association maintains a Web site that provides users with a variety of standards and technical assistance documents as well as cancer incidence data.
