Latest news from April... Update on the Third Edition of the Cancer Registry CASEbook Work on the Third Edition  is progressing, but some of the standard-setters (AJCC, NAACCR, COC, SEER, etc.) aren’t expected to have the 2018 rules available until at least September and April wants to make sure that the new edition will be as complete as possible.  Therefore we don’t expect to have it available until this winter. In the meantime, we will continue to sell the Second Edition for those who need it.  If you purchase (or have purchased) a Second Edition of the CASEbook during 2017, we will give you a 20% discount on the Third Edition for the first 90 days after it is published,

Education is the key to professional development in any field.  For cancer registrars, a good education forms the foundation for understanding the principles of oncology and the highly detailed work involved in cancer registration. April Fritz, RHIT, CTR and her associates provide the finest educational opportunities available in the field of cancer registry operations.   

A.Fritz and Associates offers a variety of educational programs ranging from customized presentations prepared for registry professional organizations to three- and five-day highly focused educational programs for beginning registrars, CTR examination preparation courses, and Level II training for more experienced registrars.
