Data
Data
The registry provides statistical data for use by epidemiologists, health researchers and others in the medical and allied health professions. Information from the registry is intended to identify cancer risk, evaluate cancer patient care, and characterize leading trends in cancer incidence, survival, and mortality among state residents.
NCCR annually compiles comprehensive cancer data collected for all years of operation and submits a report to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) and for analysis, certifications, and inclusion in national cancer statistics.

International Association of Cancer Registries-IARC
The International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) was founded in 1966, as a professional society dedicated to promoting the aims and activities of cancer registries worldwide. It is a non-governmental organization that has been in official relations with the World Health Organization since January 1979 and is a registered association in France (RNA# W691103449).
American Cancer Society Statistics
The American Cancer Society projects the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths expected each year to estimate the contemporary cancer burden, because cancer incidence and mortality data lag three to four years behind the current year. In addition, the regularly updated Facts & Figures publications present the most current trends in cancer occurrence and survival, as well as information on symptoms, prevention, early detection and treatment.
American College of Surgeons Database-ACOS NCDB
The National Cancer Database (NCDB) maintains a number of Web-based benchmarking applications that have been developed to promote access to NCDB data by the general public, researchers, and clinicians. The NCDB Public Benchmark Reports include the 14 most commonly diagnosed solid tumors in the United States. Users are provided access to data from six diagnosis years (2008–2017), slightly more than 11 million cases.
World Health Organization-WHO
The key focus of the Section of Cancer Surveillance (CSU) is the systematic and ongoing pursuit of global cancer data and statistics for cancer control action, in keeping with one of the primary aims of International Association of Cancer Registries (IARC) to describe and elucidate cancer occurrence worldwide.
Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States-CBTRUS
The Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, CBTRUS, is a not-for-profit corporation committed to providing a resource for gathering and disseminating current epidemiologic data on all primary benign and malignant brain and other central nervous system tumors for the purposes of accurately describing their incidence and survival patterns, evaluating diagnosis and treatment, facilitating etiologic studies, establishing awareness of the disease, and ultimately, for the prevention of all central nervous system tumors.
CDC Childhood Cancer STAR Project
CDC’s Childhood Cancer STAR Project is developing a new data collection system in CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR). The system will enable rapid case reporting and contribute to understanding cancer and the best treatment options.

International Incidence of Childhood Cancer-IICC
Cancers occurring in children are marked by low incidence rates, typical histologies, favorable survival in resource-rich countries, long-term survivorship issues, and a range of medical, ethical, psychological, and societal concerns. These characteristics, combined with data presentation requirements unique to these cancers, make a strong case for oncologists and epidemiologists to study childhood cancers separately from other cancers.
As a part of its mission of collecting and disseminating data on cancer, IARC recognizes the need for a specific approach to collecting and disseminating childhood cancer data. Following the publication of the first two volumes of International Incidence of Childhood Cancer in 1988 (IICC-1) [16] and 1998 (IICC-2) [14], IARC launched, in collaboration with IACR, the third monograph in the series. The new publication fills the gap in the availability of international data on childhood cancer incidence, after the two previous volumes, which covered roughly the 1970s and the 1980s, respectively.
National Cancer Institute-Childhood Cancer Data Initiative Hub
The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Hub is an entry point for researchers, data scientists, and citizen scientists looking to use and connect with CCDI-supported data, tools, and applications. The CCDI Hub’s mission is to support innovative research through increased accessibility of pediatric cancer research datasets and resources.
It provides information about available tools and applications that support the CCDI vision, along with descriptions of resources, each of which targets specific aspects of childhood cancer research. The Explore Dashboard, an integrated tool of the CCDI Hub, provides participant-centric search functionality by connecting participants with files and samples. The Explore Dashboard enables researchers to find data within a single study or across multiple studies and create synthetic cohorts based on filtered metrics (i.e., demographics, diagnosis, samples, etc.) of interest.
The Hub also provides direct links to resources and additional technical information. Users are invited to explore the Hub or select a resource link to learn more.
National Cancer Institute-Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program (SEER)
