NH Cancer Statistics
NH cancer statistics are based on registry data provided by our hospitals.
Cancer Reporting
Web-based services for file uploading and rapid case reporting are available to reporting facilities. NHSCR uses WebPlus to provide secure transmission of confidential information. A Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer is required. A user ID and password are required to access the web site. Hospital staff should contact us to get a user ID and password.
Physicians, freestanding oncology clinics, path labs, and other non-hospital facilities can report cancer cases in one of two ways:
- WebPlus
- Reporting Form
Please contact us if you would like more information on reporting requirements.
Training
Each year, NHSCR organizes training events for New Hampshire hospital registrars, including the NAACCR webinar series hosted by local hospitals. NHSCR staff members are available by phone or email to answer individual questions about reporting requirements and practical issues. Registrars should also check regional and national organizations for other training opportunities. Some useful links are provided here.
NAACCR Webinars
NHCSR subscribes to the NAACCR Cancer Registry & Surveillance webinar series so that NH hospital registrars may attend. NH hospital registrars who would like to host these events are encouraged to contact us.
