The CTR should update the follow-up file for the patient who has been readmitted for further treatment of a previously diagnosed cancer. This is necessary to ensure that the patient's ongoing treatment and progress are accurately documented in the cancer registry. Completing a new cancer abstract or assigning a new accession number would not be necessary for a patient who has been readmitted for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed cancer. Completing a new master index file would also not be necessary as the patient has already been entered into the registry.
