The International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR)

SKMCH is a member of The International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR.) Registries play an important role in cancer research. By recording data on patterns, trends and epidemiological study, we are better able to examine the causes of cancer. Registries also play a significant part in the planning and monitoring of cancer control strategies. And they help us to identify priorities in public health. More about IACR.
