    Registration is open for the National Academies Workshop "Enabling 21st Century Applications for Cancer Surveillance through Enhanced Registries and Beyond: A Workshop", organized by the National Cancer Policy Forum. The workshop is in Washington, DC, July 29-30, 2024, with online viewing options.

    Population-based cancer surveillance has a pivotal role in assessing the nation's progress in cancer control. Cancer surveillance helps inform research and care interventions aimed at reducing the burden of cancer on patients and communities, including the ability to identify health disparities in cancer outcomes. Surveillance data are crucial for identifying emerging trends in health outcomes and opportunities to improve the quality of cancer care. However, challenges with the current approach to cancer surveillance in the United States include delays and gaps in data collection, as well as inadequate infrastructure and workforce to keep pace with the informatics and treatment-related advances in cancer. The National Cancer Policy Forum will convene a public workshop to examine opportunities to enhance and modernize cancer surveillance in order to improve cancer research, care, and outcomes for all patients.
