The role of the VA cancer registrar is changing in terms of providing education and information to members of cancer teams in VA facilities, according to Donna Connery, CTR, and Barb Cunningham, CTR. Watch as they speak about how improved communication can help facilities meet the American College of Surgeons’ oncology standards.
