We applaud the Committee for recognizing the need to increase the number of central, population-based cancer registries, particularly as it relates to the voluntary reporting of oropharyngeal cancers. We stand ready to educate the dental community about these registries as they are developed.

Objective Clarification, Objective Text:
C10 Registries for cancer are fine, but we should move to create similar registries for other chronic conditions (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, asthma). Should be some discussion how use of EHRs can effectively move this forward.

Objective Clarification:
A centralized system for interstate data exchange would help increase the completeness of state cancer registries. Some cancer patients are diagnosed and treated by providers outside the states where they live, often in bordering states. Providers then report the cancer to their own state registries, not to the registries of the states of residence. This does not allow for completeness of reporting. Therefore, completeness of data captured by a state central cancer registry for every cancer diagnosed among its residents would be enhanced by a system for the exchange of data between states. Currently, data exchange between states is hampered by differences in state legislation regarding data release that prevents a free flow of data to the state registry in which each patient resides.

Ensure that 95% of the cases in each registry have complete information on race and ethnicity (i.e. not missing data in these fields). Dr. Carlessia A. Hussein
