Now in its second edition, this remains an excellent resource providing valuable information to hospitals and outpatient treatment centers on how to set up and maintain a Cancer Registry. Published in 2004, the book can be used as a basis for all disease registries, but Cancer Registry issues are addressed specifically. Thirty chapters address all areas of Cancer Registration, meeting the demands for registrars employed in hospital-based, free-standing facilities and central registries. Both clinical and administrative aspects of the acquisition and dissemination of cancer information are addressed.

The book offers: basic training for new registrars, study material for certification, NCRA-Accredited Formal Education Program textbook and overall, a resource in the health care system. The chapters, written by a team of 50 experts, are concisely written and most contain charts, tables, or illustrations. They also include introductions, summaries, study questions and answers, and references.
