Which organization requires annual submission of all requested analytic cases for CoC accredited cancer programs?

National Cancer Institute
American Cancer Society
National Cancer Database
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The correct answer is: National Cancer Database

The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is the correct choice because it is a comprehensive clinical surveillance resource that collects data from Commission on Cancer (CoC) accredited cancer programs across the United States. These programs are mandated to submit annual data on all requested analytic cases, which includes information about the characteristics of cancer patients, their treatment, and outcomes. This data collection supports quality improvement efforts and cancer research at the national level. The other organizations listed do not require submissions of analytic cases in the same way. The National Cancer Institute focuses on cancer research, funding, and education, rather than data submission from accredited cancer programs. The American Cancer Society is dedicated to cancer advocacy, education, and patient support, without a data collection mandate. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention primarily engages in public health activities, and while they do collect cancer-related data through various programs, they are not responsible for overseeing compliance and annual reporting from CoC accredited cancer programs.
