Tumor documentation and cancer registry
Clinical cancer registries are maintained at hospitals and tumor centers. They are a prerequisite for quality assurance in oncological care. Data on diagnostics, therapy and the course of the patient's cancer are recorded.
According to the Saxon Cancer Registry Act, all physicians, dentists, and hospitals working in Saxony arre required to report defined disease data to the responsible clinical cancer registry.
The National Center for Tumor Diseases Dresden (NCT/UCC) fulfills this reporting obligation by means of the NCT/UCC clinical cancer registry. The clinical cancer registry makes it possible to follow the development of cancer therapies. In addition to diagnosis, treatment type and follow-up care are also recorded, for example, to filter out differences between different therapies.
The content of the NCT/UCC´s clinical cancer registry is based on the standardized oncology basic data set (oBDS). Once fully recorded, the data from the NCT/UCC clinical cancer registry are forwarded to the Saxony Cancer Registry, which has been supported by a joint office at the Saxon State Medical Association since September 2017.
