Its main purpose is to track cancer incidence, monitor trends, and provide data to support cancer research, policy-making, and public health initiatives. By compiling detailed information about cancer types, patient demographics, and treatment outcomes, the registry helps improve cancer prevention, early detection, and care strategies.
