Abstract

We cannot prevent cancer, detect it early, diagnose, treat, and palliate it without reliable data. Continuous, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of cancer-related data are essential to effectively plan, implement and evaluate cancer control activities and policies. Enhancing routine health information systems to ensure that cancer-related data are well captured is essential, just as fostering functioning cancer surveillance systems, particularly population-based cancer registries (1,2). Population-based cancer registries play a critical role in the planning of national cancer control and prevention strategies, monitoring and evaluation of cancer care services, as well as cancer epidemiological and clinical research (1).

没有可靠的数据，我们就无法预防癌症、早期发现癌症、诊断、治疗和缓解癌症。持续、系统地收集、分析和解读癌症相关数据，对于有效规划、实施和评估癌症控制活动和政策至关重要。加强常规卫生信息系统以确保妥善收集癌症相关数据至关重要，同样重要的还有促进癌症监测系统的正常运行，特别是基于人口的癌症登记（1,2）。以人口为基础的癌症登记处在规划国家癌症控制和预防战略、监测和评估癌症护理服务以及癌症流行病学和临床研究方面发挥着至关重要的作用（1）。
