The Arizona Cancer Registry is a population-based surveillance system that collects, manages and analyzes information on the incidence, survival and mortality of persons having been diagnosed with cancer. Arizona Revised Statute §36-133 mandates the reporting of cancer cases in the state of Arizona. Reporting rules (Arizona Administrative Code Title 9, Chapter 4, pages 179-190) require hospitals, clinics, and physicians to report cases to the Arizona Cancer Registry.
