The sole justification for a cancer registry is that use is made of its data. The information stored and produced by a cancer registry forms the scientific basis for planning and organization of the treatment and prevention of cancer in the community. Its data can also be used in the testing of various hypotheses concerning the aetiology and biology of malignant neoplasms and it may also give rise to various new hypotheses.
癌症登记处存在的唯一正当理由是其数据得到了应用。癌症登记处存储和生成的信息构成了社区癌症治疗与预防规划及组织工作的科学基础。其数据还可用于检验有关恶性肿瘤病因学和生物学的各种假设,并且可能会引发各种新的假设。
