  2. Planning a Community based Cancer Registry • 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. 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 8 April,2009

  10. 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. 8 April,2009

  11. Planning a Community based Cancer Registry • Definition of cancer registry • Advisory committee • Population denominators • Legal aspects on confidentiality • Size of population and number of cases • Physical Location of the registry • Finance • Personnel • Equipment and office space 8 April,2009

  12. 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 8 April,2009

  13. 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 8 April,2009

  14. 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 8 April,2009

  15. GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE • 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. • CI5IX, Narratives www.dep.iarc 8 April,2009

  16. 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. 8 April,2009

  17. 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. 8 April,2009

  19. Population Based Cancer RegistryNarrative and population 8 April,2009

  20. 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. 8 April,2009

  21. 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 8 April,2009

  22. 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 8 April,2009

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

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

  25. 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 8 April,2009

  26. 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 8 April,2009

  27. 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. 8 April,2009

  28. 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. 8 April,2009

  29. 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) 8 April,2009

  30. 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. 8 April,2009

  35. 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. 8 April,2009

  36. 8 April,2009

  37. Collaborations Organizations of registries • International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) • European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) (European Union - EU) 8 April,2009

  38. 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. 8 April,2009
