Baden-Württemberg Cancer Registry
The Baden-Württemberg Epidemiological Cancer Registry provides comprehensive data on cancer trends in the region. It supports research into cancer causes and contributes to quality assurance in the early cancer detection. It is based at the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg and is part of the Baden-Württemberg Cancer Registry (KRBW).
Why a cancer registry?
Purpose of the registry
As a cancer registry, our task is to record all cancers in Baden-Württemberg and to document, process and evaluate their treatment and progression. The aim of cancer registration is to advance research and improve cancer treatment, and to reduce the burden of disease. The effectiveness of the registry relies on the completeness and quality of the data collected. For this reason, t is essential that all cancer cases be reported.
Every report contributes to
- Describing the incidence of cancer in Baden-Württemberg
- Identifying regional variation of cancer incidences
- Evaluating the effectiveness of cancer screening programs
- Assessing treatment outcomes
- Analysing the quality of oncological care with the goal of improving practices
- Conducting and supporting clinical-epidemiological research
Research
In addition to conducting its own clinical-epidemiological research, the registry supports other researchers by providing data and assisting with study participants recruitment.
