The ANORA Cancer Registry

Turning every case into evidence for Cameroon

The registry records cancers of every type, from diagnosis and stage to treatment and outcome, in health facilities across the country, so that clinicians, researchers and decision-makers can act on reliable, protected data.

How the registry works

From a screening room to national evidence

1
Facilities report
Hospitals and clinics report cases through the registry portal; facilities with an IntelliBra screening point also send their screenings straight from the device.
2
The registry verifies
Registry officers check each record, resolve duplicates and code it to international standards: ICD-O-3 for the tumour, TNM for its stage.
3
Evidence is shared
Aggregate statistics and reports are published for everyone; approved studies receive only the de-identified data they need.

The registry is run by a research foundation and answers to the national health authorities.
