About our research
Research is one of the Cancer Registry's main goals, and the research spans a number of different areas and topics in the field of cancer.
The research in the Cancer Registry will support important goals, namely to contribute to;
- to prevent cancer from occurring
- to detect cancer early enough
- a better cancer care
Research is taking place in all parts of the organization. The Cancer Registry has its own research department where much of the research activity is concentrated - but also the Registry Department, the screening programs, and the Department of Register Informatics have extensive research activity.
The research is largely based on population-based cancer data linked to biobanks health surveys, other cohorts / studies and registers.
The research projects range from classical epidemiology to molecular and clinical epidemiology.
