Unless they've just formed on in the past year, I don't believe
Alaska has a state association. Donella - for in-state contacts, I
would recommend Providence or Alaska Native Medical Center in
Anchorage, also Fairbanks Memorial has an active cancer registry
(her long time volunteer just retired . . . hint hint)

unfortunately, I have not found anyone that offers that in the State
of Alaska, or even Washington State so far. I live about 2 hours
from either place by plane. Even within Alaska, you have to be a
certified cancer registrar to practice...from what I have been told
recently. Any suggestions on what organizations out there may offer
such? I have even Googled "Teaching Hospitals, Cancer
Registry"...etc.
