Abstract
Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) are data information systems that systematically collect, record, and manage data of cancer patients within a defined population [1]. They play a valuable role in cancer surveillance within a given population, identifying changes in cancer incidence over time, across regions, and among diverse population groups, and, when linked to death registration data, enable the analysis of survival patterns [2]. These data are critical for assessing the need for and effectiveness of national cancer control programs, identifying possible cancer causes, and assisting patients and their healthcare professionals to make informed care decisions.
