Information for the NAACCR Call for Data

Submission Open November 1, 2024

Due Tuesday, December 3, 2024

Each year, NAACCR has a Call for Data for its certification process and to produce a new set of Cancer in North America (CiNA) data products.

The NAACCR Data Use and Research and the Certification Committees invite you to submit incident cancer cases from your registry for the years 1995 through 2022 to be used for cancer statistics, surveillance, and research projects and activities.

All data must be submitted using the NAACCR Record Layout Version 24, and all variables must conform to NAACCR standard definitions and codes, as described in Volume II, Version 24 of the NAACCR Standards for Cancer Registries: Data Standards and Data Dictionary.

In addition, NAACCR requests registries also include 2023 cases in their submission. The 2023 cases will be used for evaluation purposes only and will not impact inclusion in CiNA or Certification. The 2023 cases may be submitted after regular submission.

 

For any Call for Data questions or concerns, please contact Recinda Sherman. To keep up-to-date with any changes or additions to the website, please join the Call For Data Listserv by contacting Tricia Kulmacz.

DEDUPLICATION

Match*Pro Deduplication Protocol

  • Patient-Level Match*Pro Training – August 2022 Training (Requires MyNAACCR Login)

  • Tumor-Level Match*Pro Training  – March 2023 Training (Requires MyNAACCR Login)

  • Match*Pro Deduplication Resources
    • This zip file contains all resources needed for both patient and tumor level deduplication.
    • 9/3/24 Updated to clarify patient level duplication only goes through certification year (2022).
    • 10/23/24 We have identified that running the patient deduplication with the EM algorithm enabled is generating more manual review pairs and missing a few matches/dups.  The EM option is enabled by default.  The configuration and instructions have been updated to disable it.

Match*Pro Software

COMPLETENESS

REVIEW XML FILES

File*Pro can be used to view and manage large cancer data files formatted according to NAACCR Data Exchange Standards and export XML or CSV files for review or analysis. It can also be configured to be used with any data stored in a fixed column or CSV file format. For use with the Call for Data process, File*Pro can provide an overview of data items included in an XML file and their fill rate, and it can calculate the standard derived fields (survival, NHAPIIA, poverty, etc).
