Certification

NAACCR is the only organization to certify cancer registry data. Registry certification is an independent, objective process that evaluates the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of cancer data collected by central cancer registries. The registry certification criteria ensure that data from certified registries are of sufficiently high quality to use in the calculation of reliable cancer incidence rates. Cancer registries meeting the silver or gold standard are recognized annually for their accomplishment and may post certification logos on their Web sites denoting their certification status.

Annual Conference

Renewed Collaboration: A Modern Paradigm for Cancer Surveillance

While the benefits of collaboration are generally well recognized, clearly articulated and sustained multi-organizational Commitments are difficult to achieve. The objective of the 2010 NAACCR conference is to explore how existing and future cancer surveillance activities can collaborate across disciplines, jurisdictions and organizations in order to enhance relationships, joint initiatives, and mutual learning.
