| Additional information regarding sample selection. |
Selection of subjects having the required inclusion criteria (see below).
Several sources are used to identify cases: - Anatomopathology laboratories - Hematological cytology laboratories - Medical information departments - Health Insurance Funds - Private-practicing and hospital physicians - Management structure of organized breast cancer screening - National registry of solid tumors in children, registry of hematological malignancies in children - specific cancer medical record (summary) |
| Database objective | |
| Main objective |
The registry carries out a continuous and exhaustive collection of all new cancer diagnoses in the general population living in a given département. It has the twofold objective of monitoring the cancer risk and of conducting research on cancer.
Objectives of the Registry in terms of public health: - Participate in the epidemiological surveillance of cancers at local and national level under the Francim network by publishing incidence indicators by cancer location, gender, age and year of diagnosis. - Evaluate primary and secondary prevention initiatives (organized cancer screening), patient treatment and healthcare needs in the general population. The EPIC-PL undertakes a wide range of projects in liaison with local and national partners. The main themes are: evaluation of treatment practices and research on social inequalities Only a population based registry provides precise and exhaustive information on cancer incidence in the context of the French healthcare system. It is also necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and screening programs as well as cancer care streams in the general population - with no selection bias. |
| Inclusion criteria |
All primitive invasive malignant tumors diagnosed in people living in these two départements at the time of diagnosis, irrespective of their treatment location.
The following are also recorded: - in situ breast cancers, cervix cancers, colorectal cancers and in situ melanomas - non-invasive tumors of the urinary tract and central nervous system and borderline tumors of the ovary. The following are not recorded: - stratum basale skin cancers (only recorded in the Vendée from 1997 to 1999) |
