What is the Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development?
The Global Initiative for Cancer Registry Development (GICR) is a collaborative effort led by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), aimed at building and enhancing cancer registries worldwide. The initiative focuses on improving the quality and coverage of cancer data to inform cancer control policies and research. The GICR particularly emphasizes support for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where cancer registries are often underdeveloped or non-existent.
