Cancer Registry References and Resources Excel File
The NCRA Education Committee’s Excel file of Cancer Registry References and Resources (Updated June 2026) provides registrars with a convenient and searchable tool to access the majority of references and resources needed to perform complete and accurate reporting of cancer data. Registrars are encouraged to download the file. Questions about the content of the resource or how to use it, should be directed to the organization or agency that develops and provides the resource. If you have another reference or resource to share or if a link is broken or needs updating, please email education@ncra-usa.org.
Informational Abstracts
The abstract is the basis of all registry functions. It is a tool used to help accurately determine stage and to aid cancer research: therefore, the abstract must be complete, containing all the information needed to provide a concise analysis of the patient’s disease from diagnosis to treatment. To assist registrars in preparing abstracts, NCRA’s Education Committee has created a series of informational abstracts. These site-specific abstracts provide an outline to follow when determining what text to include. (Updated July 2025)
