Colorectal cancer is emerging as one of the commonest cancers in Malaysia. Data on colorectal cancer from the National Cancer Registry is very limited. Comprehensive information on all aspects of colorectal cancer, including demographic details, pathology and treatment outcome are needed as the management of colorectal cancer has evolved rapidly over the years involving several disciplines including gastroenterology, surgery, radiology, pathology and oncology. This registry will be an important source of information that can help the development of guidelines to improve colorectal cancer care relevant to this country. The database will initially recruit all colorectal cancer cases from eight hospitals. The data will be stored on a customized web-based case report form. The database has begun collecting data from 1 October 2007 and will report on its first year findings at the end of 2008.
结直肠癌正逐渐成为马来西亚最常见的癌症之一。国家癌症登记处有关结直肠癌的数据非常有限。由于近年来结直肠癌的治疗已经迅速发展，涉及胃肠病学、外科、放射学、病理学和肿瘤学等多个学科，因此需要有关结直肠癌各方面的全面信息，包括人口统计学细节、病理学和治疗结果。该登记处将成为一个重要的信息来源，有助于制定相关指南，以改善该国的结直肠癌护理。该数据库最初将收集来自八家医院的所有结直肠癌病例。数据将存储在定制的基于网络的病例报告表上。该数据库已于2007年10月1日开始收集数据，并将于2008年底报告其第一年的研究结果。
