Registry objectives regarding public health (surveillance, assessment):
- To participate in epidemiological cancer surveillance locally (Haute-Vienne and Limousin region), nationally (French network of cancer registries, FRANCIM) and internationally (European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR)) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) by publishing data on incidence, prevalence and survival according to location, sex, age and year of diagnosis. The registry may also identify possible cancer clusters and contribute to studies on measuring population exposure to probable or possible carcinogens, as well as the existence and nature of the causal relationship. Both Limousin and Haute-Vienne are concerned by the presence of natural radioactivity (radon) and former uranium mining sites.
- To contribute to the assessment of primary and secondary preventative initiatives (organised cancer screening), patient treatment and healthcare requirements in the general population. As the second oldest European region (after Liguria), Limousin is an indication of the future of geriatric oncology in France.
Registry research objectives:
- To participate in the FRANCIM network in national survival studies and "high resolution" studies on cancer treatment.
- To identify specific demographic traits in the territory covered by the registry that may further expertise in geriatric oncology.
