European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR)

The European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) is a collaborative organization that brings together cancer registries from across Europe. Its main aim is to improve cancer data collection and sharing, which helps researchers and public health officials understand cancer trends, risk factors, and outcomes. By standardizing methods and promoting best practices, ENCR enables the analysis of cancer statistics on a larger scale, ultimately supporting better cancer prevention, treatment, and policies across different countries. This network plays a vital role in enhancing public health and advancing cancer research in Europe.
