Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of mortality, with 10 million deaths in 2020. With the number of people impacted by cancer projected to increase, a better-integrated cancer care is needed. Evidence suggests that Hospital-Based Cancer Registries (HBCRs) that collect administrative and clinical data could improve integrated and equitable evidence-based care. However, the state and HBCR's role in the delivery of integrated cancer care for improved health outcomes, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), is poorly understood and is assessed in this scoping review. A systematic search was conducted in April 2020. Thirty articles were included. This review found that while HBCRs have been implemented in several countries, few studies have evaluated the quality and effectiveness of registries, especially in LMICs. HBCRs in LMICs function more as data collection tools than information systems to influence clinical care decisions and monitoring, missing the opportunity to guide cancer care priorities and policies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
