Mexico established a population-based cancer registry network (PBCRN) to track cancer incidence. Despite challenges with sustainability, the initiative yielded valuable data on common cancers, informing future efforts.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Growing global cancer burden necessitates localized data for effective control strategies, especially in less developed nations.
  • Mexico's National Cancer Institute (Incan) initiated a population-based cancer registry network (PBCRN) to address this need.
  • The PBCRN aimed to standardize data collection and reporting across multiple registries.

Purpose:

  • To describe the development and implementation of a population-based cancer registry network in Mexico from 2017-2020.
  • To present initial data on cancer incidence within the covered population.
  • To identify challenges and lessons learned for future cancer registration initiatives.

Summary:

  • The Mexican PBCRN, led by Incan, involved nine registries covering 11.3% of the population, adhering to international standards.

  • Data collection utilized a custom software and included public and private health institutions, with 13,517 cases recorded between 2017-2020.
  • Breast cancer was most common (23.3%), followed by digestive (18.4%) and female genital cancers (13.5%). Childhood cancers accounted for 4.4%.

    • Impact:

    • The PBCRN, though suspended in 2020 due to sustainability issues, provided crucial insights into cancer patterns in Mexico.
    • The experience highlights the importance of robust infrastructure and sustained funding for population-based cancer registries.
    • Lessons learned are informing ongoing, renewed efforts in cancer registration within Mexico.
