About Us

Pennsylvania Association for Cancer Registrars (PACR)  is a not-for-profit association representing cancer registry professionals and Certified Tumor Registrars (CTR). PACR's primary focus is education and certification with the goal to ensure all cancer registry professionals have the required knowledge to be superior in their field.

Cancer Registrars capture a complete summary of the history, diagnosis, treatment, & disease status for every cancer patient. Registrars' work leads to better information that is used in the management of cancer, and ultimately, cures.

The purpose of PACR shall be to promote the ideals of the Cancer Registrar as a professional on the health care team and to be of greater service to the cancer patient, health care administrators, and physicians.
