The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is a joint program of the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) and the American Cancer Society (Box).¹ The NCDB is a hospital-based clinical cancer registry established in 1989 that collects data from more than 1500 hospitals in the United States, capturing more than 70% of all newly diagnosed cancers.

In 2013, the American College of Surgeons CoC began to make available the Participant User File (PUF) to CoC member facilities. This led to an exponential growth in the number and breadth of publications using the NCDB. With the continued expansion and access to NCDB, it is expected that the number of publications will continue to increase.
