中国肿瘤登记工作起步于20世纪50年代末、60年代初,当时只有2个农村和1个城市地区开展了人群肿瘤登记工作。20世纪70年代进行的第一次全国死亡回顾调查以后,一些城市和肿瘤高发地区陆续建立肿瘤登记报告制度,全国肿瘤防治研究办公室编写出版了《肿瘤登记报告手册》,标志着中国肿瘤登记工作走向规范化。 China’s cancer registration started in the late 1950s and early 1960s when only two rural and one urban areas conducted population cancer registration. After the first nationwide retrospective investigation conducted in the 1970s, some cities and areas with high incidence of cancer successively set up a tumor registration reporting system. The National Cancer Prevention and Control Research Office has compiled and published the Handbook of Cancer Registration Report, which marks the trend of China’s cancer registration work Standardization.
