Middlesex Hospital's Cancer Registry

Middlesex Hospital has one of the oldest registries in the country, with cases dating back to 1932.  The Connecticut State Tumor Registry was established in 1935 and is the oldest state cancer registry in the United States. Data is reported annually to the State of Connecticut and to the National Cancer Data Base.

Our Cancer Registry is accredited by the American College of Surgeons - Commission on Cancer.  In order to meet the standards for accreditation the follow-up services rate must exceed 90 percent.  Here at Middlesex Hospital we have reached 96 percent.  This high achievement is credited to our certified staff and highly dedicated volunteers that help to keep our database up to date.
