The short course is focussed on the estimation and real-world applications of cancer survival, including the theory, the formulae, and statistical modelling. Additionally, it also covers cancer registration, data quality control, and other metrics such as incidence, mortality, cure and prevalence, as well as international and world-wide comparisons of survival, and the public health and policy implications of trends and inequalities in cancer survival. Over the years, researchers from more than 60 countries.

The JRC, the ENCR are organising a training course on basic statistical analysis of cancer registry data.

Following the success of the first edition of the course in May 2017, the training will focus on the importance of data comparability by using harmonised coding systems and following international reccommendations.
