The Cancer Care Center

Cancer Registry

St.. Anthony’s Cancer Care Center treats more than 1,700 new cases of cancer a year. Each patient’s diagnosis and treatment pattern must be reported to the State of Missouri, for public health purposes, as well as for cancer population research. This helps public health officials track the formation and pattern of disease throughout the state.

Patients’ Privacy

Our patients’ privacy is completely protected by The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The information is very valuable for helping plan future cancer treatment planning and very valuable for research purposes.
