The cancer registries of the German federal states are important institutions in the fight against cancer. They collect and collate data on cancer cases and treatments. Based on this, they compile statistics on incidence and survival rates and provide comparative data for medical research. However, compiling this information from various sources is often still done manually – a laborious process that requires a great deal of care and time.
In the »EPIK« project, we are working on a method and software solution for the Rhineland-Palatinate epidemiological cancer registry that supports correct and efficient data integration.
