Cancer Registry

Cancer registrars are data management experts working in cancer treatment and research settings. They find, interpret and record a wide range of demographic and medical information on people with cancer. The information is submitted to state and national cancer registries for use in research, treatment and prevention initiatives. Hospital cancer programs are thus able to accurately determine cancer patient populations, measure outcomes of treatment and survival, and formulate plans for quality improvement.

Commission on Cancer Accreditation

In 2009, under the guidance of the Cancer Registry, Washington Adventist Hospital took their Cancer Program to the next level by earning accreditation with commendation by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC).
