Prospective follow-up of patient diagnosed with HFE C282Y hemochromatosis. Assessment of cofactor and genetic factors affecting disease expression. Assessment of death and causes of death and determination of associated risk factor

General objective: to define clinical, radiological and biological criteria that allow formal diagnosis of early cases of rheumatoid arthritis among other early cases of inflammatory rheumatism. Secondary objective: To identify prognostic factors, ahead of early rheumatoid arthritis, that allow the assessment of medium and long-term progression, in order to set the best adapted therapeutic strategy at an early stage.

The Registry of Cancers for la Manche was created in 1994. It stems from a local medical need, in order to
supplement the incidence rates measured in the neighboring département of Calvados and to answer the public health questions raised by the industrial activity in the département (the nuclear industry predominantly and the use of asbestos in civil and military ship building).

The registry performs a permanent and complete collection of all of the new diagnoses of cancer in the general population residing in the département of la Manche. It has a dual objective of describing and monitoring the risk of cancer and of conducting research using the analysis of the data collected or one-off surveys.
Objectives of the Registry in terms of public health:
- Participate in the epidemiological monitoring of cancers on a local and national level within the framework of the Francim network, through publishing incidence indicators by cancer location, sex, age and year of diagnosis.
- Contribute to assessing primary and secondary prevention initiatives (organized cancer screenings), caring for patients and the care needs for the general population.

Production and analysis of national statistics of the medical causes of death.
