what is a good response to? My portfolio project is based on cancer as it it’s the leading cause of premature death in my county. Currently, through the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), the CDC supports cancer registries in 46 states. In turn, the NPCR also collects data from the supported territories/states and together with the NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, CDC’s NPCR collects data for the entire U.S. Population. The purpose is to monitor the burden of cancer, evaluate prevention/control, and identify needs for additional efforts/resources on a national, state, and local level. Also noteworthy is the two types of cancer registries, the first being “Hospital” which provides data used to evaluate patient care within the hospital, while “Population-based” registries typically fall under the state health departments and collect data for specific geographic areas. This process involves collecting/compiling data from facilities such as: hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing homes, pathology laboratories, ambulatory care facilities/clinics, radiation/chemo treatment centers, and any other cancer related care facilities.
