Sažetak
Operational characteristics of Europe's cancer registries were described. It should assess the feasibility of establishing a standard data set for the Croatian cancer Register's revised data sources. In Europe, cancer registries operate mainly within public sector health services and receive documents from multiple sources, including hospital administration systems, medical records departments and pathology laboratories. There are variation in the type of staff responsible for various tasks, particularly the coding of diagnostic information, and also in staffing levels for data collection. Although tumor classification should be the most standardised activity, this is not so. A standard definition of "initial treatment" is required.
