The Slovenian cancer registry is conducting a short survey with the aim to better understand the level of detail of data on registered paediatric cancer cases in Europe.
The main purpose is to identify registries that have or are planning to have detailed data on paediatric cancer patients and furthermore, if any registries have or are planning to have in place systematic registration of late effects of childhood cancer treatment for potential collaboration in the future.
We kindly ask you to fill out the survey, which will take about 5-10 minutes.
