A Legal Framework for Population-Based Cancer Registries

Digital Tools

Cancer Registries

IARC announces the print availability of a toolkit designed to support countries in establishing the legal basis for mandatory reporting of cancer diagnoses to population-based cancer registries.

Legal Framework

This publication is important because registries are fundamental to surveillance, planning, evaluation, and research. Without a strong legal framework, cancer registration can remain incomplete or inconsistent.

The Toolkit

The toolkit combines a report with online tools to support legislation drafting while allowing adaptation to local contexts. It is relevant for health authorities and registry leaders seeking practical guidance.
