What is FCDS (Florida Cancer Data System)? FCDS is Florida’s statewide cancer surveillance system. FCDS was legislatively mandated in 1978 to collect incidence data on all cases seen in Florida since 1981. The goal of FCDS is to reduce death and illness due to cancer by providing data on cancer incidence. These data are used to observe cancer trends and provide a research base for studies into the possible causes of cancer.
