title: [Contribution of the clinical cancer register to internal quality assurance in surgical oncology].
abstract: Statistically based, continuous quality improvement techniques have been advocated for use in medical settings. Annual reports from the cancer registry database provide most of the information needed to advance improvement or retrogression in the care of cancer patients. The analysis of the frequency of resection, complication rate, mortality rates, and survival rates provides a quality measure for the surgical treatment of cancer.
