The Role of Registration in Cancer Control and Prevention

---

https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/the-role-of-registration-in-cancer-control-and-preventionCancer is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the world, with 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million deaths, and an estimated prevalence during the last 5 years of 43.8 million persons with the disease, according to 2018 World Health Organization (WHO) report. Disparities between developed and developing countries have been documented-nearly 57% of cancer cases (8 million) and 65% of cancer deaths (5.3 million) occurred in developing countries. Although more cases are detected in countries with a high or very high human development index, mortality rates are similar in both low-to-middle-income countries and high-to-very high-income countries. The global picture of the impact of cancer worldwide can only be calculated from registry data, which allow for estimations of the burden of cancer for different geographic areas, as well as for the fundamental role in cancer control and prevention.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/en
