Cours francophone CIRC/AIRTUM sur l'enregistrement des cancers et l'analyse des données Caire, Egypte, 22-29 Novembre 2011 Course Report The course was developed and organised jointly by the International Agency for Research on cancer (IARC) and the Italian Association of Cancer Registries (AIRTUM). A grant from the Italian Ministry of Health (EUROMED) has provided financial support to an AIRTUM initiative to facilitate collaborations between cancer registries in the Mediterranean region.This funding supported participants from North African countries and faculty members from Italy. The US National Cancer Institute financially supported several participants from Sub-Saharan countries and support was also received Reseau Francais des Registres de Cancer (FRANCIM). Faculty attendance on the course was partially supported by a Technology Transfer Fellowship award from the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). Participation was completely free for those admitted to the course. The successful organisation of the course was made possible by competent and efficient collaboration with the WHO/EMRO office in Cairo (course venue). Support was also received from the WHO/AFRO office. Ms Sue Anthony, IARC/COR, coordinated all logistical aspects related to the course, liaising with staff in the EMRO Office. Aims and content Cancer registration is a basic element of cancer control, making possible the rational use of resources as well as the identification of areas in need of research. In Africa and the Middle East several new registries have been set up in the last decade where they are currently the only source of information on the size, nature and evolution of the local cancer problem, they are therefore a key tool to develop a cancer control plan and monitor its implementation. The main aim of the course was to strengthen skills in evaluating data quality and in using recorded data to inform local policy makers and health professionals. It was therefore primarily directed at staff of operational registries that have produced and published, perhaps only locally, incidence data. The main topics covered were: uses of cancer registry data, elements of an effective cancer registration process, evaluating data completeness and quality, computing and comparing rates and other measures of occurrence, reporting results, informing stakeholders and contributing to planning cancer control. Training included the implementation of all registry functions by means of the IARC CANREG5 (including migration from CanReg4 to CanReg5) and data analyses by means of the SEERStat software. Participants were encouraged to bring their own data and laptop, and use them to practice during the course. Faculty and Detailed Programme: see annex1 Target participants and requirements The programme aimed to provide training to both senior and junior personnel of existing population-based registries that had already accrued some years of incidence data and preferably were existing CANREG users. Participants were required to have basic computer skills and have practical familiarity with registration principles. The working language of the course was French; only staff fluent in this language or at least with excellent comprehension were admitted to the course. There were 20 participants from 11 countries and 13 registries. Three registered staff cancelled at the last minute (they were from Fez, Morocco, and Annaba, Algeria). The list of attendees is reported in annex 2. Course evaluation The degree of satisfaction of participants was evaluated by means of a questionnaire. Most participants reported a high degree of overall satisfaction (scored 7-9 on a 1-9 scale), with very few exceptions. Presentations and discussions sessions were much appreciated on all themes: international registration rules, evaluation of data quality, preparation of reports, and use of data for cancer control policies. Free material and software (all provided in electronic form) were rated high. Practical sessions on the use of CanReg software had a lower average score (5.7) with wide variation (1 to 9). This reflects, in part, heterogeneity of the participants with respect to computer skills, but also the presence of a few non-CanReg users who did not benefit from sessions on migration from version 4 to version 5 (Tunisia). These participants nonetheless were willing to adopt CanReg5 and learn how to set up their system. Attenders from the cancer registry of Rabat, Morocco, were particularly satisfied with the software and the opportunity to implement its use in their registry. In future iterations of the course, practical sessions should be organized separating the demonstration of software from individual practice allowing sufficient time for the latter, and followed by plenary review possibly led by participants themselves. One representative of each registry gave a short presentation of their data at the end of the course. All the course material, presentations (including those of particpants), software, text books and exercises, was distributed to participants on two CDs in electronic form and is part of the documentation of the course.
