The Nebraska Cancer Registry was created by the Nebraska Unicameral in 1986 and began collecting data in 1987. The purpose of the registry is to gather data that characterize how many Nebraska residents are diagnosed with cancer, what types of cancer they have, how far the disease has spread at the time of diagnosis, what types of treatment they receive, and how long they survive after diagnosis. The Department of Health and Human Services uses these data to identify high-risk populations and monitor long-term disease trends.
Also, it provides data upon request for research studies and public information. In recognition of the accuracy and completeness of the data that it has collected, the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) has awarded the Nebraska Cancer Registry its annual gold standard certificate of data quality for over 30 years. The registry is supported with funds from the state's cigarette tax and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Annual Reports
In addition to the Nebraska Cancer Registry Dashboard, below are the 10 latest Incidence and Mortality Reports by data year. Cases are reported in 12 month and 24 month cycles. These reports are not published until all 24 month data is complete, leading to approximately 2 years delay for Incidence and Mortality Reports. Due to a global pandemic, there was no report generated for 2020.
Historical Reports
The Nebraska Cancer Registry maintains an offline archive of statistics on cancer incidence, mortality, staging, and screening prior to 2013.
