Definition of Tumor registry Tumor registry: Recorded
information about the status of patients with tumors. Although a
registry was originally the place where information was
collected (in registers), the word registry has also come to
mean the collection itself. A tumor registry is organized so
that the data can be analyzed. For example, analysis of data in
a tumor registry maintained at a hospital may show a rise in
lung cancer among women. Last Editorial Review: 3/19/2012 Back
