description

Cancer registries (CR) are essential structures for the recording of neoplasms in order to study their distribution and characteristics among a given population; this, moreover, can help in identifying possible main risk factors linked to some cancer conditions. Prevention nowadays is a fundamental key strategy for the control of neoplasms, and this is the reason why policies and screening programs should be implemented in order to raise awareness and reduce exposure to risk factors.
