The idea of recording information on all cancer cases in defined communities dates from the first half of the twentieth century, and there has been a steady growth in the number of such cancer registries since. Originally, they were concerned primarily with describing cancer patterns and trends. Later, many were able to follow up the registered patients and calculate survival. In the last 20 years the role of registries has expanded further to embrace the planning and evaluation of cancer control activities, and the care of individual cancer patients. This Review looks at the current status of cancer registration practice and use from an international perspective, mindful that the registration of cancer has expanded into a global activity.
在特定社区记录所有癌症病例信息的想法可追溯到20世纪上半叶，自那时起此类癌症登记处的数量一直在稳步增长。最初，它们主要关注描述癌症模式和趋势。后来，许多登记处能够对登记患者进行随访并计算生存率。在过去20年里，登记处的作用进一步扩大，涵盖癌症控制活动的规划和评估以及个体癌症患者的护理。本综述从国际视角审视癌症登记实践和应用的现状，同时注意到癌症登记已发展成为一项全球性活动。
