National portal of cancer epidemiology in the Slovak Republic.

The directive of the Ministry of Health, called "The obligatory report on malignant tumors", specify the conditions of collecting and processing data about the patients with tumors. This material is presented in the Bulletin of the Ministry of Health 2000, part 10-12, Act No. 576/2004 of the Statute Book, and amended by the Amendment No. 662/2007 of the Statute Book. National Cancer Registry of the Slovak Republic, National Health Information Centre, would like to answer many requests for an easy and comprehensible access to the national data on cancer epidemiology. The working group created a new analytic web-page, called "National portal on cancer epidemiology". All data are valid, adapted for publications and quotation and the access to the web-page is free for the wide professional public (Ref. 5).
