Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System

This page provides information about the Wisconsin population-based cancer registry, the Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System (WCRS). This page also provides direct access to information about cancer incidence and mortality in Wisconsin. The WCRS contributes to:

• The understanding of cancer incidence and mortality in Wisconsin,
• The development of prevention and treatment programs, and
• The ultimate goal of reducing cancer mortality.

WCRS meets the highest national data quality

The Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System has been recognized by CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) as a Registry of Distinction for 2024, which reflects the submission of high quality data for cancer prevention and control activities.

In addition, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries has recognized WCRS for meeting its 2024 Gold Standard for 2021 incidence data. Cancer registries that meet the Gold Standard for Registry Certification have achieved the highest NAACCR standard for complete, accurate, and timely data.
