2. 8 April,2009 –The World Health Organization estimates that 7,6 million people died of Cancer in 2005 and 84 million people will die in the next 10 years if action is not taken. – More than 70% of all Cancers Deaths occurs in Low and Medium Income Countries, where resources available for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer are limited or non existent.

9. 8 April,2009 Cancer registry “The activity of a Population Cancer Registry is to collects information on all new cases cancer in a reference population, usually that of a defined geographical area.” “The minimal objectives are: incidence rates, planning and evaluation of cancer control program and survival.” Jensen& Storm, 1991

10. 8 April,2009 Cancer Registry Aims: To produce data on cancer INCIDENCE. Validate data on cancer MORTALITY. Time TRENDS Outcomes in Cancer SURVIVAL, Pathway to cancer RESEARCH. Instrument to support Cancer Control.

12. 8 April,2009 Planning a Community based Cancer Registry Definition of cancer registry Cancer Registration is a process of continuing, systematic collection of data on the occurrence and characteristics of reportable malignant neoplasm with the purpose of helping to asses and control the impact of cancer in the community. Jensen& Whelan, 1991

13. 8 April,2009 Planning a Community based Cancer Registry Cancer Registry Cancer Registry is an office or institution which attempts to collect, store, analyse and interpret data on persons with diagnosis of cancer.(or tumours ) – Ex urinary tract papilomas, brain tumours. Jensen& Whelan, 1991

14. 8 April,2009 Planning a Community based Cancer Registry Population Based Cancer Registry The population based cancer registry collect information of all new cancer cases in defined population( most frequently in a geographical area ) – Data on cancer incidence has to be collected from all sources of information in the coverage area in starting from Jensen& Whelan, 1991

15. 8 April,2009 New York State Cancer Registry, United States Registration area The New York State Cancer Registry (NYSCR) contains reports on all malignant tumors (except basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers), most in situ lesions, and certain benign tumors. The Registry, which is the second oldest state tumor registry in the United States, has had mandated cancer reporting since 1940. At the time of its founding, the registration area covered the entire state except New York City. Beginning in 1973, the reporting mandate was extended to include New York City. The Registry is considered to be population-based since 1976. GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE CI5IX, Narratives www.dep.iarcwww.dep.iarc

16. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Advisory committee : It is board composed by cancer registry personnel, epidemiologist, pathologist, oncologist, and representing from the source of information and potential users of cancer registry data. They can be a link to establish cooperation and support with the local medical community and health care professionals.

17. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Population denominators The availability of accurate and regularly published population data. Population figures by sex and five years age group. Except for Childhood cancer. The population cancer registry must use de definitions of populations groups, geographical areas as they are presented by the official vital statistics.

19. Population Based Cancer Registry Narrative and population

20. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Legal aspects on confidentiality Reporting a cancer cases to a population based cancer registry can be: –Compulsory. –By Legislation. –Administrative order.

21. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Size of a population and number of cases There is no ideal size for a population cancer registry. most of the cancer registry operates with a source of population from one to half a million

22. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Size of a population and number of cases Large populations – difficult to maintain completeness and data quality. Small populations – takes time to get meaningful data. Intermediate population – linkage with vital statistics

23. 8 April,2009 Korea National cancer Registry – population 48 million Hiroshima 1,13milion Large populations Small populations 1999-2002-Number of cases Male =241.155 Female=183.620 1996-2000-Number of cases Male=14.450 Female=10.260

24. 8 April,2009 Size of the population 5.340.000 million Intermediate population 1998—2002 Number of cases Male=61.586 Female=66.532

25. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Size of a population and number of cases It depends of the size of the country it is preferable to establish a intermediate cancer registries to ensure completeness and data quality

26. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Physical Location of the registry The location of the cancer registry depends of the local situation –Universities –Associated hospital –Cancer centre –Pathology labs –Health statistics –Ministry of Health

27. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Physical Location of the registry The location is intimately linked to the administrative dependency of the cancer registry. Has to be able to request demographic data and to obtain detailed information from the medical sources in the region and to the governmental health services either professional groups. The cancer registry should be autonomous as possible to interact and collaborate nationally and internationally.

28. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Finance Funds to maintain a cancer registry depends on: The size of the cancer registry. The number of data collected. The number and size of the different sources of information. If the registries do a regular follow up of the cases. The costs of the cancer registration increases over the time. – Increase the number of cases, sources of information, more space, additional staff etc.

29. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Personnel The leadership of the coordinator is a key for the success. Technical Staff- Registrar. –Training in cancer registration. –Collect data, Code, Check consistency – Software to input data. –The number of staff depends on the size of the population coverage. –One staff to cover 1000 cases occurring annually in the population.( Active data collection)

30. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Personnel Qualifications: Technical training and experience Coordinator can be: Medically qualified with a background in epidemiology, public heath or Oncology. Consultants to advise on pathology, clinical oncology, Epidemiology, and Statistics. Technical staff: Registrars responsible for cases findings, abstracting, code with specific training course. Data processors are needed depending on the size of the cancer registry.

35. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Equipment and office space It depends of the size and activities of the cancer registry. Storage - secure space for case documents especially if the cancer registry is manually operating. If the cancer registry is connected to a sever it is necessary to do standards procedures to ensure data confidentiality.

37. Collaborations Organizations of registries International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) (European Union - EU)

38. 8 April,2009 Planning a Population Based Registry Conclusions To know the cancer incidence is should be stressed in a cancer control program The cancer registry is must be a continuous activity linked to cancer control and cancer research.
