Better Care through Data

The NCDB is a clinical oncology database sourced from hospital registry data collected in more than 1,500 Commission on Cancer-accredited facilities. These data are used to analyze and track patients with malignant neoplastic diseases, their treatments, and outcomes. Online reporting tools are available to provide your program with comparative benchmarks for similar programs. We also have reporting tools for quality improvement, quality assurance, and surveillance measures.

Rapid Cancer Reporting System

The new RCRS replaces the RQRS and annual NCDB Call for Data submissions. With the RCRS, cancer programs can submit new and updated cases on a frequent basis (similar to the RQRS procedure), and the annual NCDB Call for Data will be phased out. The RCRS now serves as the new, single source of data submission for all CoC-accredited hospital registries. Cases submitted to the RCRS will include all disease sites from 2004 through current.
