What is the National Cancer Information System(NCIS)?

NCIS is a single national computerised system that records and stores information relevant to your health care. This information includes your:

  • Name and address
  • medical history
  • cancer diagnosis
  • treatment possibilities
  • cancer drug treatment (also known as chemotherapy).

What are the benefits of the NCIS?

  • easier access to your cancer care information for your medical team
  • information is available to all staff involved in your care even if it is not in the hospital you usually attend
  • better security of your personal information
  • greater safety in prescribing chemotherapy
