EUROCIM

The European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) in the past developed a joint software and database called EUROCIM (European Cancer Incidence and Mortality database). This database allowed contributing member registries to analyze international cancer registry data at a level of detail previously impossible based on public use data.
The software is now outdated, and by decision of the ENCR Steering Committee it will not be developed further. The database, however, will be renewed and become available to the participating registries and it will include additional data items to enable a wider range of studies.
The EUROCIM-2 dataset will be provided to contributing registries under the rules listed in section 1 and at the level of detail described in section 2. As with the original EUROCIM database publications will require the explicit consent of the registries whose data is used and a protocol for the study published on the ENCR web site.
