Registrars...: Most cancer centers employ a cancer registrar(s). These peole keep detailed records of all the patients seen in their geographic areas and compile statistics that are reported to state and federal agencies. You could contact your local cancer center to see who the registrar is there if you have a local concern. Hope that this helps.
