Common Standards for Cancer Registration
In 1998 the MECC collaborated to develop the Manual of Standards for Cancer Registration. This manual is now in its Fourth Edition (March 2005, M. Silbermann and J. L. Young, eds.). The manual establishes data collection and coding requirements that will be followed by all registries. At the same time, registry staff was trained on the standards. The manual has been translated into Greek for use at the Cyprus registry, and into Turkish.
