Objectives of the registry in terms of public health (surveillance, evaluation)
- The main objective of the registry is to contribute to epidemiological monitoring of cancers by producing the conventional indicators for descriptive epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and survival) from an active and exhaustive recording of cancer cases.
- The production of these different indicators helps to set up or improve public health initiatives pertaining to cancer
- Lastly, the registry helps to evaluate treatment practices by describing the stage at the time of diagnosis and the initial treatment within a general population on the basis of representative samples.
Objectives of the registry in terms of research
The Isère cancer registry has made descriptive epidemiology one of its research priorities through a variety of themes:
- Methodological development for making national, regional and - more recently - département-level estimations of cancer incidence.
- Methodological development for estimations of cancer prevalence at different geographical levels.
- Geographical epidemiology research for several years now, particularly with the production of cancer atlases and participation in environmental epidemiology research.
- Analysis of the temporal incidence trends of certain cancer locations: breast cancer in young women, thyroid cancer, prostate cancer.
Another research focus concerns organized cancer screening

Comparison response to treatment by antidepressants at 3 months in patients suffering from a major depressive episode (MDE) according to the number of prior episodes of EDM in general practice

General Objective: To determine the main risk factors for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), focusing on the impact of critical and post-critical apnoea as well as the origin site of a seizure. Secondary objective: to obtain systematic data related to: - inpatient treatment modalities for EGG-video monitoring; - long-term follow-up of patients on a medical or medico-economic plan; - results of epilepsy surgery; - serious comorbidities associated with epilepsy (including increased mortality); - Genetic susceptibility factors (systematic genotyping).

Anadep study was conceived within the framework of the Psychiatry and Mental Health (PPSM) 2005-2008 plan, for the first great Inpes campaign on depression. This study launched in 2005 is the largest survey among general population on the theme of depression in France. Its main objectives are to estimate the prevalence of the major depressive episode (EDM) among general population and to study the associated factors, to explore health care use for mental health reasons and representations linked to the disease, the treatments or the professionals. The study of the comorbidity (anxiety, problematic alcohol consumption) has been another objective of the study.
