Each year the Oklahoma Central
Cancer Registry (OCCR) submits
a cumulative data set containing
all de-duplicated cancer inci-dence
case records to the North
American Association of Central
Cancer Registries (NAACCR)
and to the National Program of
Cancer Registries (NPCR). All
NPCR-funded central registries
are required to report cancer
cases diagnosed in all residents
of Oklahoma beginning with our
reference year 1997 through
December 31, 2011, to be sub-mitted
no later than December 2,
2013. During the same submis-sion
we will also include our 12-
month data submission of cases
diagnosed in 2012. This year’s
submission will be close to
300,000 cases covering sixteen
years of data.
Data will be used for cancer
statistics, surveillance and
research projects and activities.
In addition, the data will provide:
(1) greater access to cancer data
for the public, scientists and poli-cymakers;
(2) more accurate and
more stable estimates of cancer
incidence for population groups,
including racial and ethnic
minorities, medically under-served
groups and the other sub-populations;
and (3) information
for regional and national
analyses to more accurately
identify geographic variability in
cancer treatment practices as a
means to assess use of state-of-the-
art cancer treatments.

2014 NPCR-CSS Call for Data Submission
We, as cancer registrars, must
always remember that our focus is
far greater than just collecting and
documenting data. Every registrar
should have a feeling of pride be-cause
we are improving outcomes
for the cancer patients and provid-ing
the data that will fuel the re-search
to help find cures now and
in the future. Without you and the
data, we could not provide good
quality data on a national level to
be used in research, surveillance
and survival analysis. The OCCR
thanks you for your dedication and
hard work as well as the role you
play in our call for data submission
each year.
