Information for Labs
Reporting to the Utah Cancer Registry
Cancer is designated as a reportable disease in the state of Utah (Cancer Reporting Rule, R384-100).
Laboratories that identify reportable conditions for Utah residents or ordered by providers in Utah should submit reports about those conditions regularly to the Utah Cancer Registry. It is required to report cancer cases electronically. We will work with each lab to determine the best reporting mechanism. Contact us at ucr.info@hsc.utah.edu, or telephone 801-581-8407.
What to report
We prefer electronic pathology reports in HL7 format following the NAACCR Volume V standard. Pathology Reports should be selected using both Core and Expanded ICD-10-CM codes. Each report should include the following information:
- Laboratory and ordering provider information
- Patient’s demographic information
- Name (first, middle, last), date of birth, sex, race, ethnicity, state of residence. If available: social security number, full address, and phone number
- Diagnosis
- Results of cancer-directed laboratory examination, assays, and tests
How to Report Cancer Cases
Pathology reports must be submitted electronically. We will work with you to determine the best submission format and method for your laboratory. If you do not currently submit cancer reports to us or would like to discuss if another submission method would work better, please contact us at ucr.info@hsc.utah.edu, or 801-581-8407.
