NAACCR Research Program
The NAACCR Research Program web page serves as a clearinghouse of information for researchers. It includes information on how to access individual member registries' data, and also includes contact information, a description of their infrastructure, and capacity for data availability for various types of research protocols and topics (e.g., rapid case ascertainment studies, record linkage studies or studies involving patient contact). The information about member registries will be updated annually in December. In addition, the page includes information on how to access the NAACCR CINA Deluxe file.
Epidemiologic Reports
Annually, NAACCR compiles a bibliography of all research studies, reports, manuscripts, and monographs that have been conducted using the NAACCR incidence data file, developed from the submissions of member registries. Completed reports are publicly available online. Papers published in the scientific literature may only be available by using the citation and accessing it directly from the journal.
Cancer Incidence Statistics
Cancer reporting is mandated through state or provincial laws. NAACCR registries from each state or province voluntarily submit their non-identified data annually for evaluation and publication to NAACCR. After NAACCR receives the data, members of the Data Use and Research Committee (DURC) compile the data for publication in Cancer in North America (CINA). An online interactive query system called CINA+ Online is available, and statistics and descriptive reports can be generated from the data.
Data Quality Assessments
Data Quality Assessments
The Data Quality Assessments web page contains information about Registry Certification, the NAACCR Call for Data, information for vendors involved in the Call for Data, and Data Quality Reports from NAACCR projects.
Data Analysis Tools
Data Analysis Tools
The Data Analysis Tools web page contains programs and documentation to assist with data analysis including the Great Circle Distance Calculator, NHIA v2 Algorithm, Poverty and Census Tract Linkage Program, and the Record Uniqueness Program (EXE - Moderate-Sized Files) (Zipped SAS Macro - Large Files.
Collaborative Reports
Collaborative Reports
NAACCR participates with other organizations in scientific endeavors and providing cancer information to the public. Most notably is the annual report to the nation on the status of cancer for which member incidence data are used for sections of the report.
