: : What are the educational requirements to become certified as a CTR? I currently have ART certification.
If you have an Allied Health degree, such as your ART,RRA,Nursing, etc. then you need to work in the Cancer Registry field for one year before you are eligible to sit for the CTR exam. If you do not have a degree, then you have to work in the field for two years before you are eligible.You can write the National Cancer Registrars Association at P.O. Box 15945-295 Lenexa, KS 66285-5945. The phone number is (913)438-6272. They might be able to send you the CTR Handbook that will give you more information.
