A central cancer registry is a data system that collects, stores, analyzes, and interprets cancer data from a defined geographical area. The basic information comes from patients' medical records. All names and data that could identify a patient are kept confidential.
For every cancer case, the registry includes:
In order to balance the principles of access and confidentiality, the SCCCR has classified the release of data collected under Section 44-35-30, SC Code of Laws, 1996. This classification scheme aims to promote the use of accurate cancer data, provide equal treatment of data requesters and data providers, expedite the release and process, and encourage the release of the broad spectrum of data elements without compromising confidentiality.
Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the skin, it is called skin cancer. Basal and squamous cell carcinomas are the two most common types of skin cancer. They begin in the basal and squamous layers of the skin, respectively.
Prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among men. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men resulting in approximately 31,000 deaths each year. Prostate cancer is twice as common among African-American men than it is among men of European (White) descent. Additionally, African-American men have the world's highest prostate cancer death rate.
Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the lungs, it is called lung cancer.
Lung cancer begins in the lungs and may spread to lymph nodes or other organs in the body, such as the brain. Cancer from other organs also may spread to the lungs. When cancer cells spread from one organ to another, they are called metastases.
Cancer is a disease that causes cells in the body to divide and grow out of control. When cancer starts in the cervix, it is called cervical cancer. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (or womb). The cervix connects the vagina (the birth canal) to the lower part of the uterus. Cancer cells in the cervix may grow into surrounding tissues or spread to other parts of the body. All women are at risk for cervical cancer.
