Information for Patients and Families
Cancer is presently designated as a reportable disease in the State of Utah (Cancer Reporting Rule, R384-100). As such, all cases of cancer diagnosed or treated in the state must be reported to the Utah Department of Health. Through a letter of agreement between the Utah Department of Health and the University of Utah, the Utah Cancer Registry is designated as the official repository for such data. If you have more questions, please visit our FAQ page.
If you are a cancer patient interested in obtaining your information from the UCR, or are a next of kin, legal guardian, or have power of attorney for an individual who had or has cancer, you can do so by sending a notarized Request for Confidential Cancer Record Form.
For more information, contact Teresa Moss at (801) 581-8407 or teresa.moss@hsc.utah.edu.
If a confidential cancer record is needed in connection with the Radiation Exposure Compensation Program (Downwinders), please go to www.usdoj.gov/civil/torts/const/reca for more information or contact the Department of Justice at 1-800-729-7327.
