Maine Cancer Registry - Resources For Reporting Hospitals

Below are links for documents which are available for download in a PDF format.

Requirements:

According to state law, all hospitals that diagnose or treat a patient with cancer are required to report the case within 6 months of seeing the patient. Hospitals are the backbone of cancer surveillance, reporting 95-98% of all cases diagnosed in Maine. Complete, timely, and accurate reporting is essential for producing accurate state and national cancer statistics.
