- Cancer Registry
Much of what can be learned about cancer can be obtained by gathering and recording information about cancer patients. The Martin Memorial Cancer Registry compiles statistical data about patients’ cancers, as well as certain benign tumors. This data is used for research, education, and continuity and improvement of patient care.
