What's new

Founded in 1960, the Israel National Cancer Registry (INCR) covers the entire Israeli population compiling data on all reported cancer cases including demographic information, diagnosis, date of diagnosis, and stage at diagnosis. INCR also provides linkage to national population databases using the unique national identifier.

The IMS Oncology EMR Database (USA) is the 70th US database to be profiledin B.R.I.D.G.E. It is also our 240th profile worldwide!

Data are available from 2004 through the present time on >0.5 Million unique oncology patients with 14.4Million medication orders (latest 3 years). (Sign-up here to read the full profile)

We are making strides towards adding new database profiles from more countries. We now have our first profile from Ukraine: National Cancer Registry of Ukraine.

Started in 1989, it collects information about all cases of malignant neoplasms in Ukraine in all age groups. Since the year 2002, this registry covers cases from the whole country. This population-based cancer registry is also linked to, but distinct from, the hospital-based cancer registry.

The main goal of B.R.I.D.G.E. is to profile databases from around the world with the most current information. Although we try to include as many profiles as possible, we unfortunately cannot profile every database. We work with each database manager to ensure their database profile is complete and accurate, as well as receive explicit permission for their database to be listed. Some reasons for declined participation are time constraints, non-commercial interests, and information disclosure restrictions.
