This is the official web site of the Irish National Cancer Registry. The Irish National Cancer Registry was set up in 1991 and began registering cancers nationwide in January 1994.
The National Cancer Registry has been collecting comprehensive cancer information for the whole population of the Republic of Ireland since 1994. The information we collect is used in research into the causes of cancer, in education and information programmes, and in the planning of a national cancer strategy to deliver the best cancer care to the whole population.
