Kentucky Cancer Registry

Overview

The Kentucky Cancer Registry (KCR) is the statewide population-based central cancer registry for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. It is administered through the University of Kentucky and the Markey Cancer Center, where it collects, processes, and reports data on cancer cases diagnosed among Kentucky residents.

Programs

KCR contributes data to two national cancer surveillance efforts:

  • NCI SEER — the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program
  • CDC NPCR — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Program of Cancer Registries

Use in the Cancer Registry KG

KCR is the primary data source for the Kentucky Cancer Registry Knowledge Graph (the .kcr graph), one of the registry datasets integrated within the Cancer Registry KG.

Access

Researchers can request KCR data through the registry’s research resources portal. Public incidence and mortality statistics for Kentucky are available via the Cancer-Rates.com interface.
