tumor registry
Definition(s)
- With cancer being one of the most common causes of death around the world, many cities established tumor registries (often called cancer registries) which collected, collated, and then studied cancer statistics to show the relative rates of prevalence of people suffering from cancer in a particular place. Although these were often run by individual towns—some very early ones were run by particular large hospitals—it was not long before more and more national cancer registries were established, covering all deaths in a particular country.
