Résumé :

A hospital Cancer Registry has recently been initiated at the Jules Bordet Institute. The collected information allows to report pathology items such as incidence date, site, morphology and stage. It permits to describe the therapeutic choices, which, broken down by organ and stage, can be compared to guidelines in a process assessment. The objectives of this registry are institutional (statistical and organisational finalities as well as quality control ones), extra-institutional (participation to the public network of cancer registration), and scientific (providing the researchers a common database that can be queried using multiple criteria to be completed by further detailed data). This paper reports on 3,587 incident cancer cases in 2000 and 2001 which were managed at the Jules Bordet Institute for the primary episode. Cancers in women represent 64.3% of all records, for only 35.7% of men, while in the Belgian National Cancer Registry, the proportion is reversed to 46.7% of women and 53.3% of men. The distribution of cancer by site is also quite different in our hospital registry where breast cancer in women, melanoma in both sexes, lung cancer and head and neck cancers in men are over-represented compared to the general population, while colorectal cancer is underrepresented in both sexes.
