Concordance of cancer registry and self-reported race, ethnicity, and cancer type: a report from the American Cancer Society ’s studies of cancer survivors

ConclusionsWe observed strong concordance between cancer registry data and self-report for cancer type in this national sample. For race and ethnicity, however, concordance varied significantly, with the poorest concordances observed for American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian/Pacific Islander survivors. Ensuring accurate recording of race/ethnicity data in registries is crucial for monitoring cancer trends and addressing cancer disparities among cancer survivors.
