Cancer morbidity and organization of oncological care

Population-based cancer registries collect information on all new cases of MN occurring in a defined population in a geographic area. Data are collected systematically from several sources, including hospitals, death certificates, and laboratory services, for a population-based cancer registry. Data from population-based cancer registries are the basis for estimating the prevalence of MNs and their trends over time. These data are critical for planning and evaluating cancer control programs in a defined population. This is their main purpose and determines their importance in cancer service organization and epidemiological and scientific research. The creation of a population-based cancer registry will not only help in organizing better and more targeted anti-cancer activities, but will also improve the quality and timeliness of the specialized treatment provided, to present their scientific research for publication in prestigious international journals, to participate in high-level international conferences and congresses, which will raise the prestige of the country in the world scientific arena.
