Correction

A News article in the Sept. 4 issue of the Journal ("Cancer Registries: Should Informed Consent Be Required?" p. 1269) reported that the cancer registries in Saarland and Hamburg in Germany require that physicians obtain informed consent from patients before distributing data to registries that contain personal identifiers, and that this informed consent has led to what has been described as unacceptable loss of completeness in the cancer registries.

According to Hartwig Ziegler, director of the Saarland Cancer Registry, "There has been no such requirement in Saarland. The Saarland Cancer Registry still produces valid and reliable information on incidence, mortality, prevalence and survival of cancer ... ." He pointed out that Germany does not have national legislation regarding cancer registration, so different legislation across the German states has "resulted in a very heterogeneous landscape concerning cancer registration in Germany."

The Journal regrets the error.
