Introduction

 The Office of Cancer Registry is a department for executing a hospital-based cancer registry

The Team and What We Do

 Diagnostic cases registered in 2017 in the hospital cancer registry (the first visit of cancer patients diagnosed from January to December in our hospital) were 6,438 (of which, initial treatment conducted in our hospital: 4,618 cases; in our hospital diagnosis only: 191 cases; after the start of treatment at another hospital: 934 cases; and diagnosis and treatment at another hospital (second opinions not included): 695 cases). The number of new registrations shows that the number of female patients has been consistently less over time than male patients due to irregular situations according to department (see Table 1).

 The results of a hospital-based cancer registry have been transmitted to each department by a server through a nosocomial network within the hospital information system.
