What are some of the methods that cancer registries use to monitor and improve the quality of the data collected?


The CoC, SEER, and NPCR all require edits that must be run on data to ensure that codes are valid and that code combinations make sense. The CoC requires cancer programs to have a quality control plan for the cancer registry data. Population-based cancer registries conduct visual review of data and casefinding and re-abstracting audits to ensure complete, high-quality data from reporting sources including hospital-based cancer registries. In addition, population-based registries compare cancer deaths from vital records to cancer incident records to identify potential missed cases from reporting facilities.
