About NAACCR Prep

NAACCR Prep was developed by Information Management Services, Inc. (IMS), under a contract with NAACCR, as a tool to assist cancer registries with the preparation of data files for submissions vis-à-vis the annual call for data.

NAACCR Prep will run with any file that conforms to the NAACCR 12-16 standards but the fields listed in the application are based on NAACCR 16.

NAACCR Prep allows you to create a new text file based on a pre-existing text file.   You can identify which fields from the original file that you would like to keep in the new file.   You can also opt for one or more calculated fields, not present in the original file, to be added to the file.
