关于 Cancer Registrar
Cancer registrar professionals are Oncology Data Specialists (ODS) located in hospital-based and standalone accredited cancer treatment programs, or in central cancer registries throughout the United States. In addition to managing and reporting cancer data, registrars also serve other professional functions. The number of central cancer registries has increased dramatically since the Cancer Registries Amendment Act was passed in 1992, requiring health care facilities and physicians to report all cancer cases.
