Since 1975, considerable progress has been made in the development of population-based cancer registries in Australia. Each of the six federated states has accepted the principle that population registries are of major importance in cancer control. The registries in New South Wales (established in 1972) and South Australia (established 1977) are fully functional; in addition, a national pediatric registry was established in 1977. Cancer incidence data by site are available for the New South Wales registry, and a preliminary analysis has been done of melanoma for variation by geography and country of birth, and of lung and colorectal cancers for variations by country of birth. A 3-year study of cancer of the renal pelvis in New South Wales and the relationship to analgesic consumption was started in 1977; a second study on contacts among patients with hematologic cancers has been completed.
自1975年以来，澳大利亚在基于人群的癌症登记系统的发展方面取得了重大进展。六个联邦州均已接受这样的原则，即人群登记系统在癌症控制中至关重要。新南威尔士州（1972年建立）和南澳大利亚州（1977年建立）的登记系统已全面投入使用；此外，1977年还建立了一个全国性的儿科登记系统。新南威尔士州登记系统可提供按部位划分的癌症发病率数据，并且已经对黑色素瘤按地理区域和出生国家的差异，以及肺癌和结直肠癌按出生国家的差异进行了初步分析。1977年启动了一项针对新南威尔士州肾盂癌及其与止痛药物消费关系的为期3年的研究；另一项关于血液系统癌症患者之间接触情况的研究已经完成。
