Abstract:
Population-based cancer registration has existed in the five Nordic countries for 35-50 years. With the exception of Sweden, the Nordic cancer registries not only collect figures of annual incidence, but also serve as institutes for cancer statistics and epidemiological research. The article gives an account of the scope of research based on cancer registries in the Nordic countries, as illustrated by examples from Finland.
