Article Synopsis
- Cancer registries play a vital role in cancer control efforts but their educational value for various stakeholders is underappreciated and not well-studied.
- A review of ten studies identified that clinicians, researchers, and patients are among the key groups benefiting from the educational aspects of cancer registries, despite educational focus not being a main aim of the studies.
- The findings suggest that more intentional efforts should be made to leverage the educational potential of cancer registries for quality improvement, given the wealth of data they provide.
Background: Multiple cancer registries in Australia are used to track the incidence of cancer and the outcomes of their treatment. These registries can be broadly classed into a few types with an increasing number of registries comes a greater potential for collaboration and linkage. This article aims to critically review cancer registry types in Australia and evaluate the Australian Cancer registry landscape to identify these areas.

These vertical profiles allow us to examine bottom resuspension processes and to estimate their benthic fluxes of nutrients across the sediment-water interface in shallow coastal waters. The sampler consists of a 2m long thick-walled transparent tube with 26 sampling ports at 8-10cm intervals.
