Chapter 2: Registration techniques

David Forman, Charles Gombe Mbalawa, Betsy Kohler, and Rajaraman Swaminathan

A major function of the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) series is to provide data to those interested in comparing the incidence rates of specific cancers in different populations and over time. But users of these data are advised to consider the factors that may lead to artefactual differences and thereby result in potentially misleading comparisons. The primary purpose of this chapter is to describe variations between the cancer registries included in CI5 Volume X – including variations in populations, the methods used to collect data on new cases, and the sources of data accessed.

All contributors were required to complete an online questionnaire to provide descriptive information about their registry. For each registry, information was collected about the nature and size of the geographical area covered, the reporting facilities and data sources, the procedures for case finding and data abstraction, the coding methods, the type of data collected on incident cases, and the methods of follow-up for vital status. The information provided by each registry included in this volume is tabulated in Tables 2.1–2.3 at the end of this chapter, and in the detailed registry descriptions that follow the introductory chapters.

RegistRy backgRound (table 2.1)Table 2.1 lists the registries that contributed to this volume (grouped by geographical area) and provides information about several variables that describe each registry’s characteristics, population size, and some basic aspects of operation. The significance of each variable included in Table 2.1 is described here.

Population: The size of the total population at risk on which a rate estimate is based influences the accuracy of that estimate. Rate estimates based on small numbers of individuals are more susceptible to the effects of random variation than are estimates based on large populations. Detailed descriptions of each cancer registry are provided later in this volume, along with the age distribution of the estimated population(s) at risk and the specific sources of the population data. These are usually official sources such as census data, and projections based on information about birth, death, and migration rates. Estimates tend to be more accurate for years closer to a census, and estimates based on interpolations between censuses tend to be more accurate than are projections based only on the previous census. The estimated populations for each registry, listed in Table 2.1, are the estimated average total populations (rounded to the nearest 1000)

covered during the reporting period (generally 2003–2007, although some registries provided data for a shorter time period).

Surface area (km2) and Population in urban area (%): Cancer registries in more-developed countries (such as North American and European countries, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand) may cover very large geographical areas – entire provinces, states, or countries – while the covered populations in less-developed countries are often limited to urban centres. This is due to well-recognized problems with the diagnosis and enumeration of cancer cases in rural populations. Although the calculated incidence rate for an urban area may be a reasonable estimate of the true rate in that community, the rate may not be representative of the entire country in which the registry is located, since lifestyles in rural and urban populations may be very different.

Latitude: The incidence rates of some cancers vary with latitude. This variation may provide evidence of the role of ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) in the etiology of certain cancers; however, similar variations in the rates of other cancers remain unexplained. Information about latitude is provided in Table 2.1 for those interested in investigating this phenomenon further.

Year registry started and Year population-based data first available: Developing a highly complete and accurate cancer registry takes time, and data from recently established registries should therefore be interpreted with some caution. Rates may be underestimated due to incomplete registration. Alternatively, during the early years of data collection, prevalent cases (especially from death certificate diagnosis) may be erroneously included as new incident cases, resulting in the overestimation of incidence rates.

cancer reportable (yes or no): Legislation or administrative orders making cancer a reportable disease and requiring the reporting of cancers to a registry do not guarantee completeness of reporting. Conversely, the absence of such reporting requirements does not necessarily prevent complete case finding. However, laws or rules requiring reporting generally do enhance registry operations, by ensuring access to (or reporting from) all facilities that diagnose or treat cancer.

Registration techniques

Privacy regulations apply (yes or no): An increasing number of registries must operate under privacy regulations that govern the confidentiality of all patient-level data they handle. Such regulations may affect both the ease with which registries can collect data and their ability to share their data with the research community.

non-residents treated inside registration area (%) and Estimated cases missed because of problems accessing data sources (%): When a registry catchment area has a well-reputed cancer care centre that provides treatment and diagnosis to the population, the number of non-residents treated in the area may be higher than usual. If these non-resident cancer cases are included in the cancer registry database, local rates may be overestimated. Conversely, if there is a cancer centre within reasonable travelling distance outside of a catchment area, that area’s rates may be underestimated.

Screening programmes (and starting years, if available): The final five columns of Table 2.1 indicate the starting years of population-based screening programmes for breast, cervical, colorectal, prostate, and oral cancers within the registration areas. These dates are important to consider because the accelerated detection of prevalent cases can inflate incidence estimates, especially during the early years of screening programmes. The abbreviation “NA” (for “not applicable”) indicates that a programme does not yet exist in the area.

CaSE finding, abStraCting, and Coding (table 2.2)Table 2.2 lists the usual data sources (primarily diagnostic and clinical facilities) from which cases are identified by each participating cancer registry, and which therefore serve as the basis for the information that is abstracted and recorded by the registry. The most important of these sources are typically pathology laboratories, hospital records (from both public and private hospitals), and death certificates. Together, these sources can provide a reasonably high level of reporting. However, access to records from radiotherapy and oncology departments, hospital discharge records, imaging facilities, and haematology laboratories can also be important. Some registries also obtain information from hospices and palliative care services, outpatient departments, general practitioners, and health insurance companies.

Information from autopsy services is also used by some registries, but the inclusion of cases identified as incidental findings at autopsy may spuriously increase incidence rates. However, with autopsy becoming an increasingly infrequent routine procedure, this source of error is likely to be minor.

In general, the more sources used for case finding, the more complete and accurate the reporting; significant omissions may raise concerns that case finding is incomplete. For example, the absence of any information from radiotherapy facilities would likely be due to a lack of such facilities in the registration area, which might therefore suggest that some cases are missed because

patients must go outside the registration area for care. On the other hand, the unavailability of some sources does not necessarily indicate underregistration; for example, the absence of private hospital information in a country with universal public health care may not affect registration. The use of multiple sources of case finding requires efficient record matching and de-duplication procedures to ensure that all records pertaining to the same case are brought together in a single registration, so that multiple recordings of the same cancers do not lead to the overestimation of incidence rates.

tyPes of infoRmation RecoRded (table 2.3)Table 2.3 indicates whether certain patient-level variables are recorded by each of the cancer registries included in CI5 Volume X, which may be of interest to researchers wishing to conduct studies in collaboration with the registries. For example, some registries record unique identifying (ID) numbers (such as national identity numbers, social security numbers, or national health insurance numbers), and this can be very useful for record-linkage studies. Some registries are required to use ID numbers as an alternative to storing patient names (or addresses) in their databases. The other patient-level variables included in Table 2.3 are ethnic group (or race/colour), stage of disease at diagnosis (for selected cancers), and nature of the initial clinical treatment received. The most basic patient-level variables (which are nearly always collected by high-quality population-based registries) are not included in Table 2.3 since they can be assumed to be recorded by all registries in this volume. These universally recorded variables include name, sex, date of birth (or age), permanent residential address, incidence date (usually the date of diagnosis, hospitalization, or first treatment), and primary site and histological type of the cancer diagnosed – preferably coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) schema (see Chapters 3 and 4).

Table 2.3 also indicates whether there is systematic vital status follow-up of registered patients. This is essential for registries wishing to conduct survival analysis. Information is also provided about whether follow-up is carried out passively (by access to death certificates) and/or by active follow-up of live cases.

The last two columns of Table 2.3 indicate whether each registry follows any standard rules for recording incidence date – for example, the rule sets published by IARC/IACR (Parkin et al., 1994) – and whether each registry can reliably identify subsequent primary cancers diagnosed in an individual previously diagnosed with an initial primary. Some of these recorded variables can provide information relevant to the care of cancer patients and the outcome of disease but are not used in this publication. If required for a specific research study, the data must be obtained from the individual registries.
