Policy and Procedure Manual

Cancer Reporting

Every cancer diagnosed in Georgia is required by state law* to be reported by health care providers.  The Georgia Center for Cancer Statistics has been designated by the Georgia Department of Public Health to collect and keep that information confidential in a registry.  This registry was designed to track the cancer burden among Georgia residents and to support studies about cancer to improve public health.

Exciting news!

The Georgia Cancer Registry is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new online Policy and Procedure Manual, designed to streamline access to essential information. We hope you enjoy the new format and welcome any feedback you might have.
