Prostate Disease Oriented Team DATA USE AGREEMENT (DUA) PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORFebruary 11th, 2015
FiledFebruary 11th, 2015Information regarding persons with cancer is sensitive. Therefore, specific laws have been enacted to insure the confidentiality of individuals included in cancer registry data. In utilizing data on such individuals for research purposes, it is absolutely necessary to insure, 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 the 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.
