BACKGROUND: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has developed a novel data resource, the Cancer Information and Population Health Resource (CIPHR), for conducting catchment area evaluation and cancer population health research that links the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NCCCR) to medical and pharmacy claims data from Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans operating within North Carolina. This study's aim was to describe the CIPHR data and provide examples of potential cohorts available in those data. METHODS: We present the underlying populations included in the NCCCR and claims data before linkage and demonstrate estimated sample sizes when these data are linked and commonly used insurance enrollment criteria are applied. RESULTS: Data for the years 2003-2020 are present in CIPHR and include 947 977 cancer cases from the NCCCR and 21.6 million enrollees in public and private health insurance (cancer and noncancer cases). When limited to first or only cancers (n = 672 377), 86% could be linked to insurance enrollment for at least 1 month during 2003-2020 (n = 582 638), with 62% of individuals linking to enrollment during the month of cancer diagnosis. Among all registry cancer cases, 47% (n = 317 898) had continuous insurance enrollment for at least 12 months before and after cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSION: CIPHR illustrates the utility of establishing and maintaining a statewide, comprehensive cancer population healt...
