State Cancer Registries

State Cancer Registries are organized systems that collect, maintain, and analyze information about cancer cases diagnosed within a specific state. They gather data such as patient demographics, cancer types, stages, treatments, and outcomes. This information helps public health officials monitor trends, identify high-risk populations, plan resources, and evaluate cancer prevention and control efforts. By providing accurate and comprehensive data, registries support research, improve patient care, and guide policies aimed at reducing the impact of cancer in the community.
