Information pertaining to an individual’s health status and medical treatment is sensitive. Therefore, specific laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, have been enacted to ensure the confidentiality of health information. In utilizing health data for research purposes, it is absolutely necessary to ensure, to the extent possible, that uses of such data will be limited to research. Uses for any other reason, particularly those resulting in personal disclosures, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. In addition, release of information about providers, i.e., the physicians and hospitals that provide care for cancer patients, may compromise the willingness of these providers to cooperate with the activities of the cancer registries. Therefore, considerations regarding the privacy of providers are also of great importance.
