    Reportable List

    All cases of cancer diagnosed and/or treated are reportable to the PCR.  The PCR requires inpatients and outpatients receiving either definitive or supportive treatment to be reported. Basal and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin and in situ cancers of the cervix are not reportable. In 2004, all primary intracranial and central nervous system tumors also became reportable.
