The registry provides statistical analytical services for cancer researchers at all stages of research projects. Routine service activities include baseline calculations of incidences of cancer, mortality, and survival rate aspects.
The information services of the Cancer Registry will be closed during the annual holidays from July 3rd to July 29th. We try to fulfill as many requests as possible before the break. You will most likely receive your retrieval before the holiday period if you send us your request by June 12th. The execution of requests for information will resume on July 31st.
