Proposed Project

    National Program of Cancer Registries--Cancer Surveillance System--
NEW--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP). The American Cancer Society estimates that 8.2 
million Americans have a history of cancer and that in 1999, about 1.2 
million new cases will be diagnosed. At the national level, cancer 
incidence data are available for only 14% of the population of the 
United States. While this is appropriate for analyses of major cancers 
in large population subgroups, it is not always adequate for minority 
populations and rare cancer analyses. Further, to plan and evaluate 
state and national cancer control and prevention efforts, national data 
are needed. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, Division of 
Cancer Prevention and Control, proposes to aggregate existing cancer 
incidence data from states funded by the National Program of Cancer 
Registries into a national surveillance system.
    These data are already collected and aggregated at the state level. 
Thus the additional burden on the states would be small. Program 
implementation would require funded states to report data to the 
Centers for Disease Control on an annual basis twelve months after the 
close of a diagnosis year and again at twenty-four months to obtain 
more complete incidence data and vital status from mortality data. The 
total annual burden hours are 126.
