Delaware Cancer Control Act

This act establishes a statewide cancer registry and requires designated health care providers and facilities to report cancer cases to the state health department, which maintains the registry and may audit and abstract patient records to obtain the required information. Reports and the data they contain are held confidential and shielded from general disclosure, with penalties for violations. The act also provides that no individual may be compelled to submit to examination or treatment as a condition of its operation.
