Global Status of Cancer Registries and Cancer Plans

UICC considers population-based cancer registries (PBCR) and National Cancer Control Plans (NCCP) the two foundation stones of comprehensive cancer control, which is why they form the first two targets of the World Cancer Declaration.

Using data provided by EPAAC, IAEA PACT, IARC and WHO, UICC has compiled a set of status tables showing the presence of PBCR and NCCPs in every country.   We have also developed a short list of key advocacy messages to accompany the tables; both documents are available to download on the right. We would like you to get involved, and help us to update this information on an ongoing basis.
