HBCRs are essential for several reasons: 1. Patient Management: They help in tracking the treatment and outcomes of cancer patients, ensuring better follow-up and care. 2. Epidemiological Studies: These registries provide valuable data for studying cancer incidence, prevalence, and survival rates within the hospital's catchment area. 3. Quality of Care: By analyzing data from HBCRs, hospitals can assess the quality of cancer care and identify areas for improvement. 4. Research: HBCRs contribute to clinical and translational research by providing a rich source of data for studying cancer patterns and outcomes.
