Cancer Epidemiology and Surveillance
The Population Cancer Registry serves as a crucial tool for epidemiological tumor surveillance, assessing the efficacy of preventive and diagnostic-therapeutic interventions, and informing oncology healthcare programming. Its significance lies in:
• Monitoring pathology within a specific region, detecting temporal changes in the disease.
• Correlating variations, both temporal and territorial, to factors such as increased diagnostic capacity, lifestyle-related risk factors, and environmental influences.
• Evaluating secondary prevention activities.
• Facilitating public health planning.
This registry also plays a pivotal role in cancer research, utilizing population data to continually monitor residents' health. It gauges cancer incidence, analyzes provincial-level frequency, and identifies areas, sub-populations, or high-risk groups, thereby suggesting interventions in the preventive realm.
Commencing its recording activity in 2010, the Population Cancer Registry has collaborated with national and international scientific societies. These collaborations aim to streamline the integration and processing of clinical, genomic, imaging, and treatment data, enhancing its comprehensive approach to cancer-related information.
