The North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR)

The North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) was established in 1987 to meet the needs of central cancer registries. Central registries in the United States and Canada use NAACCR as a forum to resolve problems, establish shared standards, and improve the quality and consistency of central registry operations. NAACCR took on the challenge of coordinating standards developed by other groups, developing standard codes and procedures not addressed by any single organization, and evaluating the quality of central registry data with respect to use of the data for cancer control.
