03-11-2017

Anna Kubiak and Maciej Trojanowski presented three posters at the 39th Annual Scientific Meeting (IACR 2017 Utrecht) prepared by:

  • Greater Poland Cancer Registry Team (Anna Kubiak, Łukasz Taraszkiewicz, Maciej Trojanowski),
  • Department of Radiology, Greater Poland Cancer Center
  • Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Prophylaxis, Greater Poland Cancer Center,
  • Department of Gastrointestinal Surgical Oncology, Greater Poland Cancer Center
  • Department of Computer Science and Statistics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences.

The conference was an opportunity to establish new contacts with cancer registries from other countries, which in the near future will result in the joint publications.

During this time, GPCR staff participated in interesting discussions on the importance of registries in national cancer combat strategies in the world, data collection methods in different countries and the range of data collected at population and clinical levels, stage coding methods and classifications.

We encourage you to take a closer look to our posters:

  • The impact of breast cancer screening on the diagnosis of cancer in the Greater Poland region. The analysis of differences in the stag at diagnosis between breast cancer patients diagnosed within and outside the screening.
  • Role of cancer registry workers in improving the documentation of cancer staging data, illustrating the importance of the work of the registry team to improve the completeness of data on the stage of cancer.
  • High Resolution Studies to increase the quality of the Greater Cancer Registry, dedicated to the benefits of cancer registry participation in high resolution studies.
