When you remove a patient from your cancer group, you are not deleting the patient entirely from the database. The patient will no longer be registered with your cancer group and any of that patient's data which is specific to your cancer group or any studies within your cancer group will be deleted. However, if the patient is registered with another cancer group for some reason, removing that patient from your cancer group will not affect their patient record in the other cancer group.

Only users with a Cancer Group Administrator security role (or a CCR Administrator) can remove a patient from a cancer group registry — see Security in CCR.

To remove a patient from your cancer group registry:

1. Open the patient's detail window — see Viewing/Editing a Patient Record for instructions on how to do this.

2. In the menu bar in the upper left corner of the patient detail window, select Edit-Remove Patient. Show me. A confirmation dialog will open asking you to confirm that you really want to remove the patient from your cancer group registry.

3. Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the patient from the cancer group registry. The patient detail window and dialog will close and the patient will no longer be registered to the cancer group.

If you decide that you don't really want to remove the patient from the cancer group, click No. The dialog will close, and no changes will be made to the database.
