The Texas Cancer Registry Cancer Reporting Handbook, 2006 Edition, revised April 2007, serves as the instruction manual providing rules and guidelines to assure the consistent collection and coding of relevant cancer case information. The contents of this manual are based on the guidelines and standards for cancer reporting established by the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR); Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI); and the American College of Surgeons (ACoS).
The Handbook has been revised to include reporting requirements for 2007 cases in addition to those applicable for 2006 cases.
