About the Missouri Cancer Registry's website
The Missouri Cancer Registry’s website was created to assist the various entities who are required by statutes and regulations (RSMo 192.650, 192.653, 192.655, 192.657 and 19 CSR 70-21.010, 20-20.020) to submit cancer information to the state central cancer registry.
Some of the contents include:
- the MCR Abstract Code Manual for hospitals
- abstracting resources for hospital registrars, such as required surgery codes, Missouri county codes, etc.
- reporting forms for long-term care facilities and other non-hospital facilities
- links to sites frequently utilized by cancer registrars
- information about and links to the Missouri state cancer-reporting legislation
- HIPAA information
For persons less familiar with MCR or new to cancer reporting, we’ve included a web site search tool located on the upper left corner of all pages. This search (by default) is limited to the contents of the MCR website.
For questions or information not found on this website, please call 573-882-7775.

"Not one patient numbered here has been forgotten, nor one family. These are the patients, sorted this way and that, correctly and not, remembering and bidding to be remembered, to be counted well, for the benefit and for those who come after."
