Population Cancer Registry of Cali (RPCC)
The RPCC has been operating continuously since 1962, disseminating quality information to assess and manage the impact of cancer in Cali, Colombia. As of May 2024, it is one of the oldest population-based registers in Colombia. The data consists of linked records of over 100,000 people in Cali with a diagnosis of cancer. The population includes people of any age, residents in the urban area of Cali, with a diagnosis of invasive malignant tumor for the first time of any anatomical location, that has been confirmed or treated in partial or in total. The majority of participants were diagnosed with stomach, colorectal, breast and prostate cancer. Data on general and cancer-specific mortality was provided by the Municipal Public Health Secretary.
