Cancer Registry Management: Principles & Practice

Written by a team of 85 experts and produced in cooperation with the National Cancer Registrars Association, this book is an excellent resource that provides valuable information to hospitals and outpatient treatment centers on how to set up and maintain a cancer registry. The book can be used as a basis for all disease registries, but cancer registry issues are addressed specifically. Thirty chapters address all areas of cancer registration, meeting the demands for registrars employed in hospital-based, free-standing facilities and central registries. Both the clinical and administrative aspects of the acquisition and dissemination of cancer information are addressed.
