The evolution of the population-based cancer registry
Abstract
The idea of recording information on all cancer cases in defined communities dates from the first half of the twentieth century, and there has been a steady growth in the number of such cancer registries since. Originally, they were concerned primarily with describing cancer patterns and trends. Later, many were able to follow up the registered patients and calculate survival. In the last 20 years the role of registries has expanded further to embrace the planning and evaluation of cancer control activities, and the care of individual cancer patients. This Review looks at the current status of cancer registration practice and use from an international perspective, mindful that the registration of cancer has expanded into a global activity.
