Registries collect and store information about people with cancer – their demographic characteristics, the type of tumor, the type of treatment. Institute for Interdisciplinary Health Research is assessing the comparability and validity of cancer statistics in regions of the Northwestern Federal District (NWFD) of Russia.

Completeness of regional cancer registry data in Northwest Russia 2008-2017

Data comparability and validity analyses found substantial differences across ten population-based cancer registries (PBCRs)in Northwest Russia, and only four out of ten met international standards. This study aimed to assess the completeness of the PBCR data of those registries. Eight out of ten regional PBCRs in Northwest Russia collected data with an acceptable degree of completeness. Mostly populated St. Petersburg and Leningrad oblast did not reach such completeness.
