CRCP-NLP, Cancer Registry Control Panel – natural language processing; CTR, Certified Tumor Registrar. *The CRCP-NLP process rejected an additional 518 patients (2382-1864) without CTR review, because those patients had no NLP-identified cancer mentions in any of their documents. aP < .0001. bP = .2342.
