The Cancer Registry as facilitator for the healthcare industry
Created: 16.08.2019
The Cancer Registry of Norway shall promote and provide a basis for research on cancer diagnosis, causes, natural progress and treatment effects. Facilitating the healthcare industry's use of the data managed by the Cancer Registry of Norway is therefore important.
We facilitates by making data and information available via various channels.
Part of the health industry's interest concerns treatment with drugs and diagnostics using molecular markers. In order to increase the quality (e.g. the completeness of data on drug use), we have initiated the project INSPIRE, in collaboration with industry and other participants.
In addition to making data available through various channels, the Cancer Registry of Norway collaborates with the healthcare industry on specific research projects, both in the form of commissioned research and contributory research. Some of the researchers also contribute to projects run under the auspices of the healthcare industry.
