The Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR) is a central database located at Statistics Canada that contains patient–oriented information about diagnosis of cancers in Canada. Data on the incidence of cancer are collected by the provincial and territorial cancer registries. The information is used for descriptive and analytic epidemiological studies: to identify risk factors for the cancer; to plan, monitor and evaluate a broad range of cancer control programs (for example, screening); and for health services and economic research and planning.
