According to the latest estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, malignant diseases incidence increased to 19.3 million people worldwide, while 9.9 million deaths from all malignant tumour localizations were registered in 2020, which corresponds to an estimated incidence rate of 201.0 per 100000 population of both sexes, and mortality rate of 100.7 per 100000 population of both sexes and all ages. Over the course of their lifetimes, one in five men and one in six women will be diagnosed with cancer, and one in eight men and one in eleven women will die from some form of malignant disease. Cancer registration is organized, systematic and continuous collection, entry, storage, analysis and interpretation of data on all newly diagnosed cancer cases in a defined population, and the cancer registry is the most effective instrument for measuring cancer burden on society. The registry consists of a series of diagnosed, newly discovered cancer cases in a defined population. The basic role of the cancer registry is to enable continuous monitoring of cancer incidence over time in certain population groups, time periods and geographic locations, identification of risk factors, calculation of the burden of disease, analysis of cancer care, ecaluation of the implementation of preventative measures, planning of health care, clinical and epidemiological study and determination of direct and indirect costs of treating cancer patients (arising from temporary or permanent disability, or premature death). |
