The Kentucky Cancer Registry (KCR) is the official population-based central cancer registry for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, established by legislation in 1990. As an active participant in national programs such as the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), KCR plays a crucial role in cancer research and data collection.
With a focus on meaningful use reporting for physicians and providing technical resources, KCR contributes to the understanding of cancer incidence and mortality rates in Kentucky. Collaborating with esteemed institutions like the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center and the Kentucky Cancer Consortium, KCR is dedicated to advancing cancer prevention, treatment, and care in the state.
