Cancer Registry – Cancer registries serve as a valuable research tool for understanding the development, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Physicians rely on data collected by registries to learn more about the causes of cancer and early detection, and medical oncologist's make treatment choices based on data included in pathology and cytology reports. Even after treatment, cancer data is essential to determine whether the treatment has worked or determine why it has not. The Roper St. Francis Cancer Center is fortunate to have an outstanding Cancer Registry that has been tracking cancer patient information since January 1, 1992. Our dedicated registrars keep a database of over 23,000 cancer patient records and conduct annual follow-up on over 11,000 former patients.
