A cancer registry for a population of over 2 million people was established in 1973. Although the population is predominantly white, the presence of people of Oriental stock provides a potential for migrant studies and international comparisons. Over 7,900 resident cancer cases are detected annually, and a good system for evaluating completeness of reporting and quality of collected data has been devised. To utilize the resources that the registry represents, we have a competent staff of epidemiologists and biostatisticians with academic appointments at the University of Washington and interests in cancer etiology, evaluation of care, and teaching.
1973年建立了一个针对200多万人的癌症登记处。尽管该人群以白人为主，但有东方血统的人的存在为移民研究和国际比较提供了可能。每年能检测到7900多例本地癌症病例，并且已经设计出一个评估报告完整性和所收集数据质量的良好系统。为了利用该登记处所代表的资源，我们拥有一批能干的流行病学家和生物统计学家，他们在华盛顿大学任职，对癌症病因学、医疗评估和教学感兴趣。
