Norwegian Registry of Oesophagus and Stomach Cancer
The register contains data from 2015 onwards, but does not currently have national status. The work to develop a Norwegian Registry of Oesophagus and Stomach Cancer started in November 2008.
On 1 November 2014, the clinical notification form for cancer of the oesophagus and stomach was put into operation and the reports were made available for reporting via the Cancer Registry's electronic reporting service.
The Cancer Registry of Norway is responsible for data processing and works together with the professional community in NGICG-ØV (Norwegian Gastrointestinal Cancer Group - Oesophagus and Ventricle) to maintain and expand the registry.
