The Oncology Registrars
Association of New Jersey (ORANJ)
formerly known as the Tumor Registrars Association of New Jersey
(TRANJ) is a non-profit professional organization that has been
representing New Jersey Cancer Registrars since 1983.
The purpose of this Association is:
 |
To promote research and education in Cancer
Registry administration and practice so that
we may be of greater service to the cancer
patient. |
|
|
To disseminate information to members of
this Association regarding current
activities, research and trends in the
cancer field. |
|
|
To seek active liaison with professional and
governmental organizations, which utilize
data, derived from Cancer Registries.
|
The Cancer Registrar is an integral part of
the oncology health care team. They ensure
reliability of data through completeness,
timeliness, and validity for use in research,
education, treatment planning, and scientific
papers, as today�s information will be
beneficial in accomplishing the long term
survival of the patient.
The main commodity with which a cancer
registry deals is not the collection of data on
cancer, but rather it is the dissemination of
cancer data generated. Picture the registry as a
processing and distribution center. Cancer data
facts and figures can be worked and arranged to
fit special needs and situations. One method of
dissemination is reporting cases of cancer and
other specified tumorous and precancerous
diseases to the NJ Department of Health and
Senior Services, this is our State law.
Commitment to education is integral as cancer
registrars must possess specialized knowledge
and skills in meeting the needs of its
customers.
