A new cancer registry was established in the Faroe Islands to aid cancer treatment and control. This registry will also support future epidemiological research into cancer causes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • The Faroe Islands lacked a dedicated cancer registry prior to 1994.
  • Cancer data collection was essential for improving patient outcomes and understanding disease patterns.
