Description

Manon C. Wilpshaar and colleagues check whether cancer registries hold data fit for policy use in a 2026 study. Registries built for clinical care are now asked to serve drug approval and value judgments. Three European cancer registries with different aims were audited.

A reference list of essential data items was built from literature and expert input. All three registries lacked parts of comorbidity, added therapy, patient-reported, cost, and safety data as reported. Inclusion rules differed sharply by original purpose. The authors urge disease-specific core datasets so registry owners can benchmark and close gaps before policy reliance grows.
