Abstract

A search of literature using the Connecticut Tumor Registry (CTR) for technology assessment produced eight articles. These articles represent a small but apparently increasing percentage (2%) of total CTR publications. By keeping pace with the development and dissemination of medical technologies, the population-based CTR has been useful for assessing them, especially their adverse effects.
