Program Description

Each year, researchers and medical practitioners make astounding strides in cancer research and treatment worldwide. You can become a key player in this exciting process by studying Cancer Data Management at San Jacinto College. Cancer breakthroughs are made primarily by a global accumulation of data that doctors and researchers use to develop and fine-tune treatments. Hospitals, cancer organizations, and state and national governments maintain cancer registries to collect this data, and they need help from dedicated specialists.

Cancer registries collect, store, manage and analyze data on people with cancer. They establish and maintain a cancer incidence reporting system, serve as an information resource for cancer research, and provide information to assist public health officials and agencies. For example, physicians need cancer data to learn more about the causes of cancer to detect it earlier. Cancer registrars are trained to collect accurate, complete, and timely data. The College designed the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Cancer Data Management to teach all aspects of the cancer registry, including survey processes, collection and abstraction of data, oncology coding, staging, and reporting. Upon completing this program, the student is eligible to apply for the national Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR) examination, administered by the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA).
