Objective:
Function and funding of detailed clinical cancer registries (CCRs) is defined by German Social Code Book V (SGB V) and shall be implemented by the end of 2017.
Content:
Cancer registration according to regionally defined catchment areas, feedback of results and quality assurance are the basis which determines principles of operation and use of data. Each clinical department delivers only its own findings and therapy, while compilation by the clinical cancer registry describes the patients' way through the regional network of medical care. In this way, oncological centers are not burdened by troublesome documentation of data which originate from other clinics.
Conclusion:
After successful implementation of CCRs, interested physicians and clinics are able to spend time for analysis and use of meaningful data with the objective of improving quality of care within the region, implementing innovative therapies and presenting their results, and generating new hypotheses to stimulate research.
