    FCDS Data Files

  • Independent Contractor List (comma separated text file) This list of independent contractors is provided as a courtesy and should not be considered a complete list (as the list is updated only twice per year). Additionally, the Florida Cancer Data System makes no recommendations about the individual’s abilities or skills and takes no responsibility for the quality of their work. Inclusion on this list is by request of the independent contractor.
  • Zip code, Fips County, Florida City Name Verification file (comma separated text file) This can be used by abstracting vendors to lower the number of county/zip/city errors for abstracts submitted to FCDS. The USPS Zip/County/Address Lookup Page has the very latest zipcodes.
  • Current list of FCDS Edit messages as a comma separated file. This link downloads the latest FCDS Edit Messages with Force/Warning flags. Sorted by category/edit#.
  • FCDS/NAACCR EDITs Metafile - Updated metafiles will be posted here when there are corrections/changes, so check this page for new versions:
