Belgian Cancer Registry (BCR)
BCR was established on 28 June 2005 in a partnership between the federal and regional Belgian governments. The registry collects information about all new cancer diagnoses in Belgium. Based on this information, it securely processes cancer data in the context of the nature and extent of cancer and cancer care. BCR works closely with the various Belgian centres that diagnose cancers, particularly hospitals and pathological anatomy/clinical biology/haematology laboratories.
