About our staff

Our staff is made up of highly trained professionals dedicated to the cancer registry field. Many C/NET Solutions support staff are Certified Tumor Registrars who are active in state and national registrar organizations. Open communication with our customers is important to us. Because we are a moderately-sized organization, it's easy for customers to contact our staff directly by phone or email.
