Investigating the completeness of a histopathological cancer registry: Estimation by capture–recapture analysis in a French geographical unit Alpes-Maritimes, 2008

Estimation of Completeness of Cancer Registration for Patients Referred to Shiraz Selected Centers through a Two Source Capture Re-capture Method, 2009 Data

“…Bailly's (2008) research showed that colorectal cancer had higher registration percentage than the present research, but it had lower registration percentage in compare to other cancer types (Brenner et al, 1997) that is similar to the present research. One reason for this may be the different spread of colorectal cancer in developed countries and developing countries like Iran due to the differences in life styles, diets, eating fast foods and drinking alcoholic drinks in that countries.…”

“…The results totally showed that between different cancer types under the study, the estimation of the completeness of breast cancer registration in all the selected centers of Shiraz was the highest one and this is similar to some researches like Dortag (2011), Bailly (2008), and Brenner (1994. One reason for this similarity may be the spread of the breast cancer in female group all around the world.…”

“…Peragallo's (Peragallo et al, 2011), Leong-Soo Im's (Jeong-Soo et al, 2000), Bailly's (Bailly et al, 2011) studies were almost identical to the present study, while Kroll's (Kroll ME et al, 2011) results were not similar to this study. Totally, the comparison between the previous studies and the present study shows that in previous studies in some age groups like young or children patients the percentages of cancer registration were higher than the other age groups which is maybe because of the special concern about the cancer in early ages in developed countries.…”

“…The results of the present study were compared to some studies like Kroll (2011), Larsen (2009), Bailly (2008, Schmidtmann (2008), Croccetti (2001), McClish (2005, Song (2012), Razum (2000), Ballivet (2000), Brenner (1994), Seddon (1997), Gholamzadeh (2013, (Suwanrungruang, 2011), andZemestani (2013) and the results of these comparisons showed that the percentages of the completeness of cancer registration in this study are lower than the other studies, But they are identical to Drog's (2011) study and higher than Azevedo-Silva's (Azevedo-Siva et al, 2009) research. Also the results show that in all the selected centers of Shiraz, the age group between 40-49 years old has the highest percentage for cancer registration and the age group less than 20 years old has the lowest one.…”

Data coverage of a cancer registry in southern Iran before and after implementation of a population-based reporting system: a 10-year trend study

“…Completeness varied with age (better for patients less than 30 years old) and cancer site, and cases with a histology report were more likely to be registered than those without one [17]. A study in the French Maritimes Alps district found that completeness of their registry was 92.2% (95% CI: 91.5-93.0%) for breast and colorectal cancer [18]. Overall completeness of a cancer registry in Estonia was 90.8%, although the rate varied by cancer site [19].…”
