NAACCR set criteria for the certification of central cancer registries that are out of reach for most cancer registries.

NAACCR sets comprehensive data quality and standardization criteria to promote reliable, comparable cancer registry data. These criteria are designed to be achievable, providing a clear path—through standardized coding, complete case capture, consistent follow-up, and regular data quality checks—for registries to improve. NAACCR also supports registries with guidance, training, and tools, and many registries attain certification or make steady progress toward it over time. So, the idea that these criteria are out of reach for most registries isn’t accurate.
