IARC: an international effort to combat cancer The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialized cancer Agency of WHO was established in May 1965 following an initiative by French leading scientists supported by General de Gaulle, who proposed the idea that advanced nations could unite to curb a growing global health threat: cancer.

Burden • Of 57 million deaths in 2008, 2/3 due to NCDs. • Cancer will be an increasingly important cause of morbidity/mortality in next few decades in all regions. Population-Based Cancer Registries • Current capacities for NCD surveillance are inadequate in many countries and urgently require strengthening. • Cancer morbidity is essential for planning & monitoring cancer control initiatives. • PBCR are core components of national programmes - provide means to plan, monitor and evaluate the impact of specific interventions in targeted populations.

Action Plan for the Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of NCDs 2013-20 • Recommendations for a set of voluntary global targets for the prevention and control of NCDs. • 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality • A comprehensive global monitoring framework to monitor trends and assess progress made in the implementation of national strategies & plans on NCDs • Cancer Incidence (collected by population-based cancer registries)
Cancer Incidence in Five Continents % population covered by cancer registries in Vol. IX 1998-2002 (number of registries/number of countries providing data) 32.5 (100/29) 83.0 (54/2) 4.0 (44/15) 1.1 (5/5) 5.5 (11/7) 80.5 (11/2) 11.6 total (225/60)

What is cancer registration? • Cancer Registry • The office or institution which is responsible for the collection storage, analysis and interpretation of data on persons with cancer • Cancer registration • The process of continuing systematic collection of data on the occurrence, characteristics, and outcome of reportable neoplasms with the purpose of helping to assess and control the impact of malignant disease in the community. • Population-Based Cancer Registries (PBCRs) • Collect information on all new cases of cancer in a defined population • The population covered is usually that of a geographic area • The main interest is for epidemiology and public health
Planning for a PBCR • Clear definition of the catchment population • Size of population and number of cases • Decide on optimal size of the population covered by the registry • Physical location of the registry • Legal aspects and confidentiality • Advisory committee • Seek cooperation / support of medical community. • Representatives of funder(s), sources and users of data • Personnel • Leadership of PBCR Director • Necessity of adequate staffing, expertise and training • Equipment (IT - linkage of sources) / office space • Financing • Dependant on size of area, data items collected, different sources etc.
The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development • To develop capacity in LMICs to produce reliable, high-quality information on the burden of cancer – a key response to the UN Political Declaration on NCD in Sept 2011. • It proposed the establishment of a global network of regional hubs to provide support, training and infrastructure to local networks of cancer registries • GICR is an IARC initiative, backed by a number of major international partners • Fundraising program being developed with UICC with a minimum target $5m over 5 years http://gicr.iarc.fr/
The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development • First IARC Regional hub for the Asia region established at the Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai (India) in 2011. Inaugurated October 2012. • Second hub being launched in 2013 in Izmir (Turkey) [with support from Centre for Global Health, NCI, USA and the Cancer Control Department, Ministry of Health of Turkey] • African Cancer Registry Network (AFCRN) launched in 2012 [collaboration led by Dr Max Parkin, INCTR with support from ACS, USA] • Next steps: • Establishment of Hub inLatin-America and Caribbean with local partners (RINC) • Hub Executive Group http://gicr.iarc.fr/

Urban and Rural Populations Population (in thousands) : 2010 • 50%-80% of the population of developing countries reside in rural areas. • A realistic estimate of the cancer burden is therefore possible only if rural cancer incidence is documented. Source : http://esa.un.org/unup/p2k0data.asp

Challenges and opportunities for future cancer registration • Prioritize government resources to cancer registration as an integral part of cancer control • Increase coverage and quality in areas of the world currently underrepresented
