Integrated and standardized cancer information is a valuable tool for decision-making and would help the streamlining of cancer services to the patient.

Timely accurate information about how cancer is treated within the Hospital is essential for effective cancer prevention and treatment. (Esteban et. al.1995).

The data recorded will include clinical information, which would not normally be collected by a population based registry.

Parkin et al. (1995) maintains that in order to undertake any program of cancer control, it is necessary to understand the burden of cancer in a community.
