Other requirements and helpful information for researchers If the study involves patient contact, Cancer Registry staff must first obtain patient consent, or if patient is too ill or deceased, next-of-kin consent, to release the patient’s name to the researcher.
Additional Cancer Registry requirements and charges may apply.
The Cancer Registry will first notify the physician, then they will notify the patient about the study and require patient consent to release name and address.
Patient release is not required for cohort studies that involve linkage to the Cancer Registry in order to ascertain cancer occurrence. However, if the study involves contacting individuals identified as having cancer through the linkage in order to obtain information regarding their cancer (e.g., risk factor information, medical record release, etc.), then patient release is required.
