Community Cancer Care, Inc. (CCC) is a sub-specialty business consulting group of over fifteen (15) medical oncologists supported by a diverse professional staff.  CCC offers a complete range of services to assist hospital-based cancer programs including the Consortium Cancer Registry.  


Cancer Registry Consortium  

The CCC Consortium Registry was established in 1984 with Wabash County Hospital.  Today, the CCC Consortium Registry has grown to eighteen (18) Indiana hospitals with over 24,600 cancer cases in the database.  <See cancer registry links>.

Community Cancer Care, Inc. is very proud of the Cancer Registry package we offer, and have received recognition for these services.  To quote American College of Surgeons’ physician surveyor, Richard B. Reiling, M.D., “ I am quite impressed with the wide scope of CCC programs and think it is certainly a model to be evaluated in other states.”

In today’s rapidly changing health care climate in order to be competitive we have to offer a wide range of services.  The items offered in the Consortium Cancer Registry contract are a complete Cancer Registry package.  While cost should and must be evaluated regularly, we believe the Consortium Cancer Registry contract is priced and packaged in a manner that allows each hospital to be efficient and competitive in the delivery of cancer services.
