The objectives of the State of Maine's Cancer Incidence Registry Program (MCR) are to collect case-specific data on all persons diagnosed with cancer living in Maine and, to the extent feasible, those Maine residents who are either diagnosed or die out of state; to tabulate and summarize patient data to determine the frequency and incidence rates by age, sex, and type of cancer for geographic areas; to evaluate factors which might determine the incidence of cancer or survival of cancer patients; and to assist others interested in improving the control of cancer among residents of the State of Maine.
