The role of NCT Cancer Registry to document clinical occurring data in regard of a tumor patient started in Heidelberg in 2007 with the achievement of completeness of all cancer cases since 2008. In the light of digitalization and continuous development of medical knowledge and methods tumor documentation gained in complexity. The NCT Cancer Registry is responsible to document each cancer case within the NCT, whether being a primary patient, a patient with recurrent disease to be treated in an advanced stage and even a patient demanding a second opinion. Medical tumor documentation includes diagnosis and therapy information as well as staging information and information about the course of the disease. Approximately 13.000-14.000 new cancer patients are registered annually. Of these, about 30 percent are demands on second opinion, with tendency to rise.
