Abstract
Data used for cancer incidence statistics are reviewed annually and certified when they meet NAACCR standards for high-quality incidence data. However, as uses of the data submitted to NAACCR expand beyond calculation of incidence statistics and data files are made available to researchers for analytic and surveillance research, the need to expand data evaluation has become apparent. Therefore, all researchers granted access to use NAACCR’s CINA Deluxe are asked to provide a report of their review of the quality of the file as it pertains to their proposed project. In addition, staff conduct ad hoc assessments of CINA Deluxe regarding data elements that have suspected or potential data quality concerns that could affect information of interest to the membership. This report includes summaries from two quality assessment reviews of the Cancer in North America (CINA) Deluxe dataset.
