The University of North Dakota School

of Medicine and Health Sciences has been awarded a five-year, $1.6

million federal grant to operate a statewide cancer registry.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the registry

is aimed at providing a ``cancer early warning system for the

state.''

Cancer registries collect data including tumor type, stage of

disease, treatment and demographic information. The data often

provides clues for research into the causes of cancer.
