Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a relatively new phenomenon in Canada, and is therefore a growing area of interest in the legal and medical communities. Research is hampered, however, by the lack of a standardized approach to collecting data on MAID cases. The authors first discuss the importance of having comprehensive data to improving preventative and end-of-life care across Canada. The authors then canvas the existing framework for reporting MAID cases in Canada before noting its deficiencies, most importantly, a lack of comprehensive, nation-wide data collection. The authors then propose a model for national data collection based on the existing Canadian cancer registry system.

The registration system of cancer cases has been established and perfected over the last half a century across the world. A unified approach to the registration of cancer cases and provision of high quality cancer registry data are the key to reliable epidemiological indicators in oncology as the essential basis for development of cancer control programs. Any deviations in the approach to registration of cancer cases can distort the epidemiological pattern and lead to incorrect prioritization and misallocation of resources. The Russian Federation has experienced a number of problems in the cancer registry system that requires thoughtful organizational solutions. Possible improvements are here addressed on the background of the application of Chelyabinsk Population-based Cancer Registry for inclusion in Cancer in Five Continents and other IARC publications.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. However, in Pakistan, in the absence of a national cancer registry, it is difficult to predict the current status of cancer incidence. Therefore, a need was felt to design a study that can give a depiction of the prevalence of common cancer types and their relevance to the local population in the absence of a proper cancer registry system. In view of this, data was collected from 2010 to 2016 for breast, prostate, head and neck, cervical and colorectal cancer from the cancer hospitals and centres located all over Punjab, Pakistan. All the data were analysed to calculate prevalence percentage, gender-based incidence rate, crude rate, and Age-specific rate (ASR) for each cancer type. The results showed that breast cancer was the most common type and its prevalence showed a linear increase through the study period (P < 0.001). Breast cancer (6561) was followed by prostate (1183), head and neck (833), cervical (697) and colorectal cancer (531) in terms of prevalence. Gender-specific cancers like breast, prostate, and cervical were found to be more common as compared to others. In the case of head and neck and colorectal cancers, males were more susceptible as compared to females. There is a radical increase in cancer cases in the study area and the same could be extrapolated to the whole country. Therefore, for the appropriate and focused efforts to combat this increasing trend of prevalence, it should be constantly monitored, which leads to the recommendation of an effective cancer registry system in the country.

At both the national and community level, cancer registration schemes are central to research into the nature and causation of cancer, to the planning of health service resources and cancer control programmes, and to the assessment of their efficacy. Cancer registration is thus a part of the modern health information system. There are two major types of cancer registries -hospital-based registries and population-based registries. It is of paramount importance that the issue of development of cancer registry in developing countries should be taken into account. Although, the cancer registry system in Bangladesh is in infantile stage, it should be the aim of the health planner of our country to develop population-based cancer registry as early as possible. The extra difficulties and expenses involved are certainly outweighed by the enhanced validity and usefulness of the data generated.

Abstract Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and its incidence and mortality rates vary globally due to genetic variation, population age and exposure to risk factors. In the present study we aim to report national and subnational incidence of bladder cancer in Iran between 2003 and 2015.Methods: This population-based study investigate the age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) of bladder cancer between 2003 and 2015 in Iran and its 32 provinces using last updated data from national cancer registry system of non-communicable disease center of Iran Ministry of Health, and Medical Education. Results: ASR of bladder cancer increased from 8.35 in 2003 to 13.57 in 2015 in men. ASR of bladder cancer also showed a mild increase in females, 2.12 in 2003 versus 2.86 in 2015.Conclusion: In conclusion, we observed an increasing trend of bladder cancer incidence in Iran, highlighting the disease as a potentially major health problem in the future. Therefore, it is necessary for health organizations to implement effective educational, preventive and therapeutic programs in the country to prevent further increase of disease burden.
