BackgroundCBTRUS is currently the only population-based site-specific registry in the US that works in partnership with a public cancer surveillance organization, the CDC's NPCR, and from which data are directly received under a special agreement. This agreement permits transfer of data through the National Program of Central Registries Cancer Surveillance System (NPCR-CSS) Submission Specifications mechanism. CBTRUS researchers combine the NPCR data with data from the SEER program 1 of the NCI, which was established for national cancer surveillance in the early 1970s. All data from NPCR and SEER originate from tumor registrars who adhere to the Uniform Data Standards (UDS) for malignant and non-malignant brain and CNS tumors as directed by the North American Association of Cancer Registries (NAACCR)(http://www. naaccr. org). Along with the UDS, there are quality control checks and a system for rating each central registry to further insure that these data are reported as accurately and completely as possible. As a surveillance partner, CBTRUS can, therefore, report high quality data on brain and CNS tumors with histological specificity useful to the communities it serves. Its database represents the largest aggregation of population-based data on the incidence of primary brain and CNS tumors in the US.
