The commissioner of health shall establish a statewide population-based cancer reporting system. The purpose of this system is to: (1) monitor incidence trends of cancer to detect potential public health problems, predict risks, and assist in investigating cancer clusters; (2) more accurately target intervention resources for communities and patients and their families; (3) inform health professionals and citizens about risks, early detection, and treatment of cancers known to be elevated in their communities; and (4) promote high quality research to provide better information for cancer control and to address public concerns and questions about cancer.
