Cancer data should be submitted in a secure, electronic method. Non-hospital providers should submit all cancer case data utilizing the CDC's Web Plus software. If a non-hospital provider is unable to submit data electronically, the provider may contact the Department to inquire about an exemption. Upon approval of the exemption, the Department will provide data collection forms to the provider. To request an exemption, a provider must submit a letter stating reason why it is unable to report using the electronic method to the Delaware Cancer Registry. The address can be found at:

Data submitted under this section shall also include disclosure of the patient's length of residency in Delaware, primary residential address in Delaware and the location and nature of the patient's primary past employment if such information is available to the health care provider. A health care provider shall make reasonable efforts to obtain all information as required on the electronic reporting system. However, reasonable efforts by a clinical laboratory shall not include the interviewing of patients to obtain required information.
