A computerised cancer registry data and validation system in India--its implications for developing countries.
Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine 1994 August
The cancer registration system in India, and an appropriate computer program to validate the cancer patient data it generates, are described, with the resource inputs, and outputs of research, training, awareness creation and cancer control, in the context of local health care systems. Computer packages already available mostly address the type of data obtainable from western health care systems. The same factors that limit health care systems in India, and probably most other developing countries--inadequate health care facilities, skeletal medical records systems, meagre and unavailable vital statistics, few trained staff, funding and computer facilities--also limit the data sent to the National Cancer Registry Programme. The computer program we developed checks for the reliability and validity of various cancer diagnostic, spread, therapeutic and outcome variables. The program is in HIBASIC for a CPM operating system with a minimum of 64 kB memory, adaptable to MS-DOS systems, population-based cancer registry data, and perhaps to other types of chronic disease registries, with relevant modifications. Since reliable cancer registry data are needed for effective cancer control measures, this program may help in such efforts in developing countries.
