Abstracting Abstracting is converting a patient’s written medical record to uniform data

Cancer Registries have embraced technology

The Flow of Cancer Information: A Case Study

Diagnosis to treatment n Jane Smith learns from her internist that she likely has breast cancer

Diagnosis to treatment n Further tests are completed at the hospital

Diagnosis to treatment n Jane’s doctor proposes a course of treatment

Diagnosis to treatment n Follow-up tests show Jane to be cancer free

Diagnosis to treatment n Jane’s data are added to other SEER and Michigan central Cancer Registry data, and the National Cancer Data Base, where it will go through more quality processes and refinement

Diagnosis to treatment n The Cancer Registrar will regularly follow- up

Cancer Information is Used to Improve Prevention, Research, and Care

Evaluate patient outcome, quality of life, and satisfaction issues and implement procedures for improvement Cancer information is used in thousands of ways, including —

Develop educational programs for health care providers, patients, and the general public

Cancer data forms much of the body of knowledge used by medical professionals, epidemiologists, policymakers, and public health officials

Minnesota In Minnesota, a rare type cancer caused by asbestos exposure was identified, leading the state to look for increased state funding for occupational-related disease

New York Cancer registry data are now used to educate New Yorkers about cancer risk factors

Cancer Registrars Ensure Accuracy and Privacy

Inaccurate data are useless, expensive, and often harmful

National data are only as good as state and local data Health care providers record patient information and diagnosis Hospital-based cancer registrar abstracts patient information into uniform data sets and checks for an existing record for each patient Patient data are aggregated on a state level, and then sent to national registries (SEER or NPCR)

Privacy concerns are paramount to Cancer Registrars

Cancer Registrars: A challenging career requires quality education, and certification

High quality data results from trained specialists: Cancer Registrars
