Wow, I can’t believe it is time for another newsletter; Spring is just around the corner, and I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for sunshine and more daylight hours! Just on the horizon is National Cancer Registrars Week, April 8-12, 2013. The proclamation has been sent to the governor’s office to declare that time period as Cancer Registrar’s week. Cancer Registrars are healthcare professionals that participate in the “war on cancer” by being advocates for this nation’s cancer patient population displayed through your expertise and diligence in cancer data collection. Cancer Registrars ensure the timely, accurate, and complete collection of quality cancer data. This data is fundamental to the nation’s cancer prevention and treatment efforts. Thank you for your excellence and the vital role you play in cancer epidemiology. Now is the time to brag about yourself and your profession! Read More
Holiday greetings registrars,
As the incoming President for 2013 I want to start by saying, “Thank you” to all who have served on the Executive committee prior to me.

I have some big shoes to fill. Active involvement is key in keeping this organization useful and successful. Read More
