To create a useful tool for epidemiological research and evaluation, modelled on tools established in various other countries; 2. To verify morbidity data of the unfavourable situation in Alsace with regards to high cancer mortality. The Bas-Rhin cancer registry is responsible for estimating cancer incidence, prevalence and survival. The registry also aims to participate in national and international studies in these areas: comparing incidence rates to locate different geographical regions and compare them in a database; to develop existing work to identify factors that explain variations in cancer incidence, prevalence and survival. The cancer registry is also a tool for assessing the effectiveness of preventive measures, especially screening campaigns throughout the département for breast cancer since 1989, cervical and colon cancer since 1994 and colon and rectal cancer since 2008. As such, the trend in incidence rate can be monitored and the proportion of false negatives can be documented. - Registry research objectives: The registry is developing research in the field of estimating cancer incidence in geographical areas with no registry, as well as estimating survival through relative survival and healing models in order to obtain the best "current" survival estimates. null France Grand Est Individuals Patients population Male Female Infant, Newborn (birth to 28 days) Infant (28 days to 2 years) Child, Preschool (2 to 5 years) Child (6 to 12 years) Young Adult (19 to 24 years) Adult (25 to 44 years) Middle Aged (45 to 64 years) Aged (65 to 79 years) Aged, 80 and over (80 years and more) All diagnosed malignant or primitive in situ tumours are registered for subjects residing in the Bas-Rhin département at the time of diagnosis, regardless of their treatment location.
